Outlook 11.0.5510
I have some clients that I advise who are using Outlook,
Build 11.0.5510. There are some ways in which vCard contacts, do not integrate perfectly with this version. Is it correct that 5510 is a pre-release version and not an RTM such as Outlook, Build 11.5608.5703? How does one upgrade a pre-release version to an RTM? |

You can always check build numbers at
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003.htm#versions . To upgrade, you would need to purchase and install a retail or volume license copy of Outlook or Office. Why do you think RTM will do a better job with vCards? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Outlook 11.0.5510
Thanks for the response. So I understand, current
purchasers of Office would most likely get build 5608.5703 rather than 5510 (which I also understand might be Build 11.0.5608.5606 but that build reports itself in the X- Mailer header information as Build 11.0.5510) The issue is somewhat strange, but with 5510 when a vCard is sent to a user with 5510, if the vCard has information in the "notes" area of the contact entry/sender (such as text or a hyperlink) that information gets stripped out of the notes area for the recipient. That does not happen with 5608.5703. The information in the "notes" area is received in tact by the recipient who is using 5608.5703. Any ideas why that is? Thanks for the help--my clients often use the "notes" area to transmit information, which is hindered by 5510's characteristics. -----Original Message----- You can always check build numbers at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003.htm#versions .

Outlook 11.0.5510
Actually, RTM Outlook creates vCards with Notes OK, but can't *read*
anything in the Notes area of a vCard. Hopefully, that will be fixed in an upcoming service pack. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Jeff" wrote in message ...

You need to check Help, About to get the version number, although I think only 5608 reports 5510 in the header. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com OneNote Tips: |

Outlook 11.0.5510
Thanks so much. I appreciate the great responsiveness.
Hope the service pack comes out soon. And, I hope you get some kudos for identifying an issue that can make the product better.
