Importing a large .vcf contact file
I have a .vcf that was exported out of Groupwise - it contains over 4000 contacts and if I open the vcf file in excel I can see each one. If I do an import into outlook and point it to the .vcf file, It only imports the first contact.
Is there a way to import the entire contents? Thanks, -P

In Excel, select all the contact row/column cells and give that range a name. Be sure that you have a header for each column so that you can map it to match up with the appropriate fields.
Then in Outlook, import the excel file and map the fields.

Outlook only import vCards one at a time. And definitely So if you import a group vCard, it will only import the first entry. And get this: if you try to import a collection of single-entry vCards, Outlook will still only import the first one!
You need a third party program to import multiple contacts in VCF to Outlook. This V-Card Converter addin will do the job
