MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004importing more than one vcard in Outlook2003
When I import a vcard file (.vcf) into Outlook 2003 it only imports the first record out of the many records. Is there an easy way to import all of the records in the vcard file? Export, yes. Import, no.

Every other contact manager I know of does. And some address books only export to vcf format (example Apple Address Book). I wonder why Microsoft placed this restrictionon their import capability? >-----Original Message----- >Export, yes. Import, no. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> of the records in the vcard file? >. I don't think it's an intentional restriction, just a feature that never got high enough on the list to be implemented.

Send your suggestions to mswish@microsoft.com Thanks Sue. I took your advice and sent the following email to mswish: Please add this feature to your next version of Outlook: Allow importing of a .vcf file (VCARD) that contains more than a single record. Currently only single contacts can be imported via VCARD import. I want to import my entire address book. Thanks. Importing mutiple Vcards into outlook 2003 does work if you do a simple drag from an open folder and drop on to the contacts tab in outlook 2003. The only problem I had is that it only wanted to drag and drop 20/30 vcards at a time anything larger gave an error. I'm not sure if this works with earlier versions of outlook.
