>> Try going to: "hermes -> Enter Time -> Client". If you have everyone in

>>
>> Call it something else, hordeclientsql or whatever.
>>
>> Change your settings in turba for "name of client addressbook" to point
>> at this new table, i.e. hordeclientsql.
>>
>> Populate the new table with just the names and addresses for your
>> clients, within turba as you would any addressbook entry.
>>
>> Permission your users to see/use this new database.
>>
>> Result? you should now have a nicely trimmed selection list.  Of course
>> you can do other things with this table, within the sources.php (in
>> turba/config), whereby you would prevent importing, etc.
