Attach a Business Card to a Task or Appt., and it doesn't show Not
Title pretty much says it all. I often have comments in the Contact's "Notes"
section that are pertinent to being able to get hold of the contact -- like hours of business and so on. But when I attach a contact as a business card to a Task or an Appointment in Outlook those notes are not brought forward. So, I open the Task / Appointment, double-click on the business card, and I get all of the contact information -- EXCEPT for the data in that Notes field! Bug?

Please provide information on your Outlook version and what steps you're using to attach to the task or appointment.

Administers nuclear dope slap to self!
Oh. My. God. I couldn't believe I did that -- until I read it. Okay, sorry. Now some actually useful information. Office 2007 Professional with OneNote 2007 and Visio Pro 2007 also installed under Vista Business RTM. With the Task or Appointment opened in its own window I click on the Insert selection above the ribbon and then choose Business Card from the list. From there it's just a matter of selecting the contact I want to use. Am I doing something wrong?

These are your own contacts, for your own use? In other words, you're not sending a meeting or task request? If that's the case, the easiest solution is to display the Contacts box for linking items. To turn it on -- Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show Contact Activity Information on All Forms. Once you do that, you can click the Contacts box at the bottom of the item or just type in a name to make a link to the contact record. Much better than inserting, because you always have the current information.
The Insert | Business Card command won't insert notes. The alternative is to save a contact as a vCard .vcf file and attach that file. -- 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 "jimmuh" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Sue, for your help. Your way is MUCH BETTAH!
Truly, I appreciate your acumen. But -- doesn't this seem just a wee bit counterintuitive? It seems the natural way to go, I think, to those of us used to doing this in previous versions of Outlook. At least it was the most immediately accessible to a guy who was used to doing things "the old way". 8-) "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: These are your own contacts, for your own use?

Not at all, if you understand the Business Card feature, which apparently was designed expressly to include only a small subset of the contact fields, largely to protect privacy.

Attach a Business Card to a Task or Appt., and it doesn't show
I used the USMT to migrate my data and settings from Office 2003 on WinXP Pro
to Office 2007 on Vista Business. I had always had the contacts button at the bottom of appointment and task forms, but it was gone in Outlook 2007. As I rummaged around I saw the business card thingy and figured it was a replacement for the other method. Hence, not intuitive -- at least not under the circumstances. But once you know, yeah, it makes sense to have both capabilities.
