I've tried to save my Notes Address book as a VCF file and Import it into
Outlook - for some reason I can only view the last record from the Notes
Address book once I've imported it.  I'm exporting from Notes 6.5.   I've got
a lot of records, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Start by posting a more accurate description of what you did.
You cannot possibly save an entire address book as a VCF file.

Russ,

I must correct you, IBM Lotus Notes, V 6.x does permit you to export your
entire address book into a single VCF file.  It is a very nice and convenient
feature for moving personal address books around between different software,
computers and phones.  

There are consultants who must do so...

OK.
Then you cannot save all your Outlook Contacts as a single VCF file, nor can
you import such a file into Outlook.
Just curious. Is Outlook the only PIM program that doesn't support exporting
all Contacts to a single VCF file and that can't import VCF files?
It's probably wise to see what file types Outlook can import before creating
a file for that purpose.

If your VCF file contains multiple contacts - you'll need a 3rd party
product to handle that. One such product that includes this capability in
their feature list is available from
http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook/Vcard-Converter.asp.
Another is available from:
http://vcard4outlook.4team.biz/?page=http://www.outlook4team.com/download.asp?catID=3.
Have no personal experience with any of them.

Karl

Karl, this reply is great.  I used the first plugin and have already
recommended it to others.  Thank you!

Thanks Karl, I used the Sperry one and worked perfect for LN 6.5 and Outlook
2007
