Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
I am trying to Forward Contacts from one Outlook to another via email. On
the sending computer - the contacts attach to the email as "contact" files. When I receive the email on the 2nd computer, the attachments are now "emails" instead of contact type files. I have been doing this for over a year with these two computers, what has changed?

Sounds like the format of the message being sent has been changed on the sender's Outlook. -- Brian Tillman

Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
I usually forward these contacts from two computers to mine, and I am having
the same issue with both. When I go look in the sent folder - the attachments are contact files, but when I receive them on my computer they are now email files. Is there a way to change the formating of how my computer receives them? "Brian Tillman" wrote: eathayer wrote: I am trying to Forward Contacts from one Outlook to another via email.

Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
Make sure that the format for the message is rich-text, not plain text or HTML, and that you've double-clicked the person's address and marked it to send in Outlook rich-text format.

Since you are doing the sending, you must make sure that you are sending them in RIch Text format. The two places to check that are ToolsOptionsMail Format and the Properties dialogue of the E-mail address of the recipient contact record you're using. -- Brian Tillman

Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
Ask the recipient what format they're receiving the message in -- plain text, RTF, or HTML.
Is Exchange your mail server? Have you tried using the Forward as vCard command instead? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "eathayer" wrote in message ...

Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
I am doing the sending and receiving (from my bosses' computers to mine). I
receive the contacts as email type attachments, but I don't know how to know what type of text it is. Not on an Exchange serve. I have tried vCard - same result.

Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files
You should be able to look at the title bar of an open message to see what format the message is in.
Check your settings in Tools | Options | Mail Format | Internet Format. The Outlook Rich Text option should be set to keep the format as rich-text. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "eathayer" wrote in message ...
