A system, method, and computer readable medium containing computer readable instructions for causing a computer to parse selected electronic contact information into fields of a record for storage in a contact database for use by an electronic address book program without opening the electronic address book module. The system may include a selection module that permits a user to select electronic contact information, an initiation module that enables a user to initiate parsing of the selected electronic contact information into fields of a record for storage in the contact database, a parsing module that parses the electronic contact information into fields of a record in a format for storage in the contact database, and a storage module that stores a record from the fields assigned by the parsing module in the contact database. The selection module and the initiation module may operate through operation of a select and click combination through use of a computer mouse and selection of a computer screen icon presented to the user by the system.
