This is a question of configuration AFAICS. I have #v+ bbdb-file is a variable defined in `bbdb.el'. Its value is "~/.bbdb" Original value was "~/.emacs.d/bbdb" Documentation: The name of the Insidious Big Brother Database file. #v- > I see that in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/bbdb-20140830.2031 there is a > bbdb.el and bbdb.elc file.

I think you better configure the variable `bbdb-file' instead. (M-x customize-variable bbdb-file) > That is, is the format suited to bbdb3? IIRC there has been a format change from bbdb2 to bbdb3. bbdb3 can read the bbdb2 format and converts to the bbdb3 format (again IIRC). I recommend you to save a backup of your bbdb2-file and check if bbdb3 works for you. Ciao, Marco -- http://www.wahlzone.de GPG: 0x49010A040A3AE6F2
