NOTE: The procedures in this article only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option. With this option, you can use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, click About Microsoft Outlook on the Help menu. If you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation, you see "Corporate or Workgroup".



SYMPTOMS
When you send a message that contains a vCard with a populated Notes field by using Outlook in the Corporate or Workgroup (CW) mode, the Notes field does not show up with the vCard.



WORKAROUND
Use one of the following methods to work around this problem:  In the Contacts folder, locate the contact that has the vCard auto-signature that you created, right-click the contact, and then click Forward. This places the vCard in a new message body. Double-click the vCard to display the Notes field.

 Double-click the contact that has the vCard auto-signature that you created, and then double-click the contact to open the Contact form. On the Action menu, click Forward as vCard. This places the vCard in a new message body. Double-click the vCard to display the Notes field.

-or-

 Create the vCard, and then reference that vCard file when you create the auto-signature. To do this:  Open the Contact form of the contact that you are trying to include in the auto-signature. On the File menu, click the Export to a vCard option, and then save the vCard file to the Signatures folder. Edit the auto-signature by clicking the vCard from the vCard Options list in the Edit-Signature dialog box.</li></ol> </li></ul>
