Is there html code to create a hyperlink so that a vCard is created in
Outlook 03, similar to how the mailto: tag automatically creates an
email when the hyperlink is clicked?

Yes, but you'll probably think the answer is too trivial: Include a hyperlink to a saved (or generated by the web site) vCard .vcf file.

What code do you use to have the web site generate a .vcf file?

That will depend on (a) the source of the data and (b) the platform used for the web site. At http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm#info, you'll find links to the vCard specification.
