I have Ooutlook 2003 and I have it synced with my Blackberry 7520 4.1 SW
version.

By happen stance I go to my deleted folder in Outlook and see 840 individual
contacts there. Which compiled of most recent addtions to my Contact
database.

I then highlight all of these and open the Contact (window ?) so the Deleted
and Contact is side by side. I drag all of them highlighted over and the
transfer window appears. To which I believed they are now importing. WRONG.
They go into one Contact vCard. I click on the vCard and it says it is static.

Is there anyway to get all of these vCards back as individual vCards?

The Outlook Contacts folders doesn't store contacts as vCards. Is there
something you're leaving out?

Brian,

Unfortunately I am a novice and don't know what other way to describe what I
see and what took place.

I'll try it this way: I dragged the individual contacts into Contact and all
of the vCard icons where in one vCard. A vCard to me is where we input all of
our clients info. Work, home etc. The icon is like a business card profile on
the left and lines simulating entries of info. So I have this one vCard with
all of the icons in the section of the card you can make notes in. I have
tried to move them from here but with no success. If you want a screen shot
and can tell me how to do it I will send it so you can see what I see.

Thank you for your help.

The icon iss just an icon. It doesn't signify "vCard".

It sounds like you copied the contacts to another contact. When you click
EditCopy to Folder, select the contacts folder where you want the contacts
to go. When you dragged them, you must have dragged them to one of the
contacts.

Not even one at a time? What about right-clickCopy? Describe the views
you were using in both windows and I'll try to replicate and see if I can
figure out a way to undo it.

Brian,

That is exactly what I did, side by side, hightlight and drag, all it does
is duplicate a contact with all of them in the "note" box.

You still haven't stated what views you have displaying in those folders.
Address Cards? Phone List? By Category? What?
