In a jam. I send contact info to work but they don't get what I se

[Arthur Pappas]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a real jam here & could use some help. I have various Outlook 2007
contacts that I need to send back to my workplace. These contacts have
information entered in the "Notes" section. When I attach the contacts in an
email no notes are included with any of the contacts.

Some Googling led me to go into each contact, then Save As > Export to vCard
file, where I saved them all on my Desktop. I thought I was home free because
opening a couple vCard files I noticed the "Notes" had been included.
However, after opening more vCards I see that many contacts once again have
no data in the "Notes" section.

This is driving me absolutely insane! My office is waiting for me to send
them these contacts but I cannot send them without the "Notes" I have
entered (the Notes are very important & must be included).

How can I go about fixing this? Any suggestions would be most welcomed.

I'd add a new pst to your profile, copy the contacts to it and close the pst
then zip it and send the zipped pst.

Diane, thanks for your suggestion. However, I'd prefer to find out why one
contact's notes save & another contact's notes do not. Thoughts?

Could really use some help here

Did you try using File, Save as (choose MSG format, unicode msg format if
the recipient is using outlook 2003 or 2007) or dragging them to the
desktop? Test it with one of the contacts that lost the notes in the export
first.

As for why some worked and some failed, was there any differences in the
length of the notes?
