MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Not able to open vcard by double clicking
Hi, I am not able to open my vcard by double clicking on it. Am using outlook 2003 SP2. Had tried forwarding to others, and they are able to see it, they're using outlook 2003 SP 2 as well. Is there a way for me to verify if the .vcf is corrupted? or is it my outlook that is corrupted? I also know that .vcf is tied down with .ost. Is there a tool to verify if the outlook 2003 is working fine rather than me re-installing my outlook or office 2003? You can open a VCF in Notepad since they're just plain text files. Ensure you've got Outlook set as the program to deal with Contacts (address book) here: Control Panel > Internet Settings applet > Programs tab > Hi, > I am not able to open my vcard by double clicking on it.

Checked under Control Panel, the Contacts is associated to Address Book. Yet still not able to open the vcard. > You can open a VCF in Notepad since they're just plain text files.

Indeed. Vince told you to set Outlook as your Contacts manager, not the Windows Address Book. You also need to examine what program is set to open VCF files in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options...

Had checked, it's associated. In fact when I open my vCard attachment from my colleague, it opens up in another email attachment. which doesnt make sense.. had anyone encountered this before? > Indeed.

I asked you to post the path statement for the file association for VCF files so we can figure out what's wrong. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > There isnt any email content.

The vCard extension has become associated with some palmtop software. When I changed the file association to Outlook, when I then double-click the vCard attachement all it does is to open a new email, with the vCard as an attachment. I don't know what you mean by the path statement. > I asked you to post the path statement for the file association for VCF > files so we can figure out what's wrong.

Look at the properties of the "open" command for VCF files. It should be something like this: "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /v "%1" SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I am having a very similar problem.
