David,

I might stand corrected.

I haven't tested this for customers/vendors that don't have 
transactions, so give it a go and please report back what you find.

Try one of the following: (both give the same end result)

1. Reports > Business > Payables Aging/Receivables Aging
    then Options > Display to show address & contact info if desired
    use Options > General to play with sort order

2. Business > Customer/Vendor > Customers Overview/Vendors Overview
    then use the Customer/Vendor List button on the toolbar
    (results in same as the Aging Report)

Once you get the data you want onscreen, then you can copy/paste into a 
spreadsheet and save as CSV for importing elsewhere.

Note, I don't know of any method that shows *all* info about a 
Customer/Vendor save for reading the XML uncompressed, or using a db 
backend and running a query or examining the tables directly.

Also, I've only just tried this on 4.12. If it exists in older versions, 
I do not know.

Regards,
Adrien
