I'm using Outlook 2003, FrontPage 2002.
I saved my vCard as part of my Website's root directory. Added link to it on
a page. When I preview the page in the browser in FP and click the link, it
works. But when I publish the page, it doesn't. I'm coming up with Page Not
Found. I've checked server, and vcf is there. Any ideas on what might be
happening?

While viewing the published page in your web browser, right-click the page and choose View Source. Then find the link in the HTML source and see what the page is actually using. I think you'll find this is a FrontPage problem, not an Outlook issue.

Thanks. I looked at the source and it's reading the same. I'll go over to the
FP forum to see what I can find out. Thanks again.

Here is what I found out in the FrontPage forum.

You are using a Windows 2003 server. On Windows 2003, the IIS server
will deliver a "404 - Page not found" for any file with an extension
not in its list of valid mime-types. Ask your host to add a mime type
for .vcf
