How do I save contact information as a vcard file without includi.

[Guest]

I want to send Outlook contact information to others as vcard files, but they
are automatically saved including all of the activities in the journal. I do
not want to share the activities information with others, but cannot find out
how to delete these entries from the contact or save the contact information
without including these entries.

You can stop being paranoid about this. No one is monitoring the activities
in your Outlook folders. A vCard is a text file that contains information
about a contact. You can see this for yourself by opening it in Notepad. It
contains no information about activities. Repeating: It contains no
information about activities.

The Activities page builds a list *on the fly* of items related to the
current contact. It builds that list from the *current user's* Outlook
folders. If someone has activities related to you, they'll see them when
they open the vCard you sent, because Outlook creates one of its own
contacts from the vCard. If you open that vCard yourself, Outlook creates a
contact with your information on it, and that contact's Activities page will
show all the activities in your folders involving you.

If you still don't believe me, save the vCard to your hard drive and open it
in Notepad.
