Russ: Ironically, I am considered very articulate, so I am suprised by your
reply. It is a simple question: What can I do to save three email addresses in the email boxes provided in my vcard? When I add these addresses and save the vcard that I am adding them to, I can retrieve the complete saved document with the three addreses when I look in my Outlook Contacts, but only the primary email address is saved when I Forward it as a vcard (from the Actions tab) or try to save it in My Documents and insert it to send (the other two addresses are gone/deleted). Also, when I use Forward (vs. Forward as a vcard) from the Actions tab on the vcard, the Activities buttton is live and streams email and my calendar. I won't use just the forward button in Actions because of this, but is this normal? I believe that the Forward as a vcard or insert of a saved doc are the way to go, but, again, neither is saving my three email addresses. Hope my question concerning how to retain the three email addresses is now clear. Thanks. -Loveofthedesert "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Please post a clear and accurate description of your problem.

vCards are not an Outlook construct or form. They are based on simpler
internet protocols for use with other programs and as such would not be expected to behave as an Outlook form would. I'm not sure why you would be using vCards when you have Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Loveofthedesert" wrote in message ...

My contacts in Outlook save in what I thought was vcard (you're saying not to
bother with vcard since I use Outlook). I think you are also saying that it's no wonder that vcard isn't working with Outlook. Then how do I send email of an Outlook contact info "card" to someone without loosing any of the info, as I describe happens when I try to send as a vacard.

After I replied to your answer, below, I found this article which seems to
contradict your belief that Vcard and Outlook aren't compatible. When I follow directions it does work, although I first get a "Cannot find this file" which I ignore because the file is attached at that point...?? http://www.ehow.com/how_2042593_shar...ugh-email.html Please also answer part 2 of my question regarding Activities downloading my email and calendar into the vcard.

I never said they weren't compatible. I said that you were converting an
Outlook Item into a different format and when you do so you risk losing or changing data, which you obviously did. My question remains as to why you feel you need to change an Outlook Item to some other format. If you want all your Outlook data to remain intact, then don't change it. vCards do not support links to Other Contact Folders and views which is why you also lose activities and calendar entries. You still have not clarified what you're trying to do, so it makes giving you specific answers difficult. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Loveofthedesert" wrote in message ...
