Parsing Last Name from a vCard
We are seeing an odd problem with certain vCards we receive. If the last name
specified on the card is say, van Gogh, the Address Book sets the last name as Gogh for filing (the File As field will be, e.g., Gogh, Vincent van). Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there any recourse? Thanks in advance!

Parsing Last Name from a vCard
What do you see if you open the .vcf file in Notepad? How is the name listed?

Parsing Last Name from a vCard
It looks like a normal vCard. Here's an example:
BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:van Gogh;Vincent;W. FN:Vincent W. van Gogh TITLE:Artist REV:20060501T224920Z END:VCARD "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What do you see if you open the .vcf file in Notepad?

Parsing Last Name from a vCard
I see the same thing here, even in Outlook 2007 Beta 2, unfortunately. My guess is that Outlook is parsing the FN rather than putting the name together from the separate parts.
