Default createItemFromTemplate and VCF files

Hi there,

Does anybody know if there's a way to leverage the
createItemFromTemplate (or similar) function to create a contact item
in ol2003 using either redemption or outlook apis?

I'm using it to parse large numbers of emails - and their attachments -
and the createItemFromTemplate(filename) works fine for .msg and .eml
files but not .vcf files. When I use it against a vcf, I get the
following error thrown:

Run-time exception thrown : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
- Can't open file: c:\crap\203\0011.vcf. The file may not exist, you
may not have permission to open it, or it may be open in another
program. Right-click the folder that contains the file, and then click
Properties to check your permissions for the folder.

Opening the file by double-clicking it works fine. All I'm interested
in is reading it in, then extracting the information into a legible
format, then deleting it.

Thanks in advance
Dave
