867466 2010-03-15 22:49:00 How do you export contacts in Windows mail (vista).
I can put them in a folder one at a time and send,but there has to be a better way?
Thanks all.

Open Windows Contacts by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
2.
On the toolbar, click Export, and then click one of the following formats:
* CSV (Comma Separated Values). This is a generic file format used for exporting or importing information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
* vCard (folder of .vcf files). This format is used by many other programs. It is typically the best format to use when sharing contacts with someone who is using an earlier version of Windows or who is using a different operating system.
3.
Click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format, and then click OK.
4.
When a message appears telling you that the contacts export process has completed, click OK, and then click Close.

867473 2010-03-16 01:04:00 Yeah I am looking at win7 rather than vista but I thought it was the same..

Hit the print screen key, paste into paint, save as .jpg then upload Cic.

It might be worth checking in windows mail, under file - export (or import and export) and see if you can export the address book as a .csv file from there, but I don't think win mail allows you to do that.
