MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Contact Received as an Attachment won't save to Contacts folder
I have Outlook 2000 installed as part of the Office 2000 Professional Suite on my laptop. When I receive a contact as an attachment, I am unable to save the contact directly to my contacts folder. I open the mail message, open the contact, click Save and Close, and the contact doesn't appear in my main Contacts list. Also, when I open the contact from the email, make changes to the contact and then save, the saved changes save in the original contact attachment. Is this a problem that has been fixed in an Outlook or Office 2000 service pack? I don't see the problem occuring on Outlook 2002. Is my best bet to upgrade to Outlook 2002? Please advise, thank you. No, it's just the way that kind of embedded item works. Either drag it to your Contacts folder or open it and use the File | Copy to Folder command.

It must only be an issue with Outlook 2000 though. > No, it's just the way that kind of embedded item works.

Please advise, thank you. More likely, the attached contacts you're seeing in Outlook 2002 are vCard .vcf files, not embedded Outlook contacts items. They behave differently.
