TracyJane's dashboard

got it... you were close on the phone # its actually the address data in gmail exports out as

LABEL;TYPE=HOME=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"a bunch of text for address"

Doesn't look like sandy can handle this input... I don't know if its non standard, I'm guessing the fault is on Sandy's side.

... now what I don't understand is my initial failures with just the two vcard ID"s. Those shouldn't have failed and in fact if I import that same file now Sandy accepts them!

hrm.. None of mine had phone-numbers.. If you remove the 2 phone numbers from the first contact and then send it to her.. Does it work?

im XP32/Pro and FF3... sandy will accept a single entry from me but not more. From the above post example i can do either entry but not bot together in a vcf file.

alone works

I tried a couple of different entries and doesn't look like sandy want's to parse more than one... format doesn't seem to be an issue just multiple vcards in the file.

I'm running windows XP64, using FireFox3.. My vcard looks like this (sanitized):

END:VCARD

I simply attached it to an email to sandy (via gmail), with no subject or body (Aside my from sig). During the export, I chose "vCard" format, and saved it as "contacts(4).vcf".

Whats your platform? i'm running xp and saving the .vcf to local hdd and then sending it to sandy as an attachment. Did you put anything in the subject or body?

I just did my 'most contacted' which is 20 entries and it failed. Sandy replied "I got your email but couldn't find anything you asked me to do. Let's see if we can quickly remedy that:...."

here is a snip from the first two entries... in my .vcf (modified user info)

....18 more entries

I just exported 6 contacts into a vCard file from GoogleMail, and then forwarded it to Sandy, and she got all 6 contacts with no problems.

Looks like this 'feature' is remains entirely broken. I have tried to export my gmail contacts and import them into Sandy with an attached csv and vCard with no joy.

I don't want to use Tracy's method as I believe it strips all of the meta.

Any idea on when this will be working?

I just tried this and it WORKED, requires basic knowledge of Excel and MS Word. The idea is to use a little conversion magic to create a text file with each contact on a separate line and word REMEMBER in front of it and paste that into email for Sandy. There are probably any number of ways to do that...here's what I did: Make a CSV file for your contacts (export from wherever they are), open the CSV file in Excel, add a column to the front and fill it down with "REMEMBER" then select the whole thing, copy/paste into MS Word...replace tabs with spaces (use CTRL-H and enter ^t as symbol to represent tab, and just put a space in the spot for what to replace with)....Once that is done you'll have a document with REMEMBER and each contact info on a separate line. Then copy that whole thing and paste into email, send to Sandy. I imported about 300 contacts and there were about 6 with errors but that's not too bad!
Good luck.
