Notes Question with Outlook 2003

[Shaunti]

I use Outlook 2003 with SPI installed. I notice that when I receive a vCard
that has information displayed in the "Notes" area, that information
disappears when I save the contact (though I could see it before it was saved
to my contacts). This didn't happen with Outlook 2000 or 2002. Am I doing
something wrong or is there any way around this problem other than copying
and pasting the information into the saved entry?

It's a bug. Are you using an older format (Outlook97/2002 compatible) pst, a
Unicode pst or an exchange mailbox? If exchange, which version.

I'm not sure I totally understand the older format question. I'm not using
exchange. My computer is new and I loaded Outlook 2003, so I would imagine
that I'm not using an older format pst. I did save over my pst files from
Outlook 2000 on my old computer when I installed Office 2003 on the new
computer. Does this help? Thanks Diane for getting back with me.

Thanks again for letting me know I'm not doing something wrong. Any idea
whether MS might fix this with a service pack in the future?
