importing a vCard into a folder other than Contacts
 

I'm trying to get a client's address book from one webmail application to
another. The "from" application can only export in vCard format. The "tol"
application can import a csv file only.

I thought I would first import the vCard file into my Outlook (2003) and
then export it in csv format. So, I created a separate contacts folder so
the imported entries wouldn't end up mixed up with all my contacts.

However, each time I try to import the vCard file, it automatically goes
into my Contacts folder and I never have the option of choosing where I want
it to go.

Any suggestions on how I might slay this beast?

Thanks in advance.

Double-click the vCard file to open it, then click FileMove to Folder to
add it to the contacts folder you want.

I'd already figured that part out, Brian. (Actually, I can just drag and
drop the entries into the correct folder.) But I really don't want to have
to do that with 222 new contacts interspersed throughout my Contacts folder.
It would be so much nicer if I could import them directly into the subfolder.

Have a different idea?
