You can use mysql directly. Assuming you use FreePBX, from your server command line:
mysql -u root -p asterisk -e "delete from visual_phonebook"
Ok, Many thanks for that.
when you import a phone book will it only be for one user? i was under the impression that FOP had a global address book but i can only see it for the user that i installed it from?
Thanks again
The visual_phonebook table has two fields that control the record scope: owner and private.
If a record is set with private='yes' only the extension that is set in 'owner' can see that record.
So, if extension 200 has private records, and 201 some others, then set them like:
owner='200',private='yes'
owner='201',private='yes'
