Default Duplicate forwarded contacts

Thanks for your input Melissa. I can read the original thread so I know what
you were referring to and had enough information from your post to understand
you have the same situation. I still haven't found a solution that works
satisfactorily.

Kris,

This is the same problem I have and posted questions about. I have tried to
send vcards in numerous ways. Each way has a problem. If you forward as a
vcard (from Actions menu), information gets lost (like category). If you
just forward (Actions menu), the vcard is received as a folder not a vcard
and information can not be accessed. Right click and "forward" also does not
work for a contact.

Right now, the method I am using is to create a mail message and then in
attachments, click item and select the contact. This method allows the
contact to be sent on with all information in tact. However, like you
stated, when a contact already exists, Outlook does not ask if you want to
add new information to an existing contact (like it does for the other
forward options). Rather, it creates another contact with the same name and
the user must delete the outdated one by hand. Not a very productive method
of updating.

So, I am looking for a solution to the same problem. At least I know
someone else is struggling with this too.
