Trying to open a vcf file (vCard) from a user.  After double-clicking file, get message:

Cannot open file: C:\folder\filename.vcf. The file may not exist, you may not have permission to open it, or it may be open in another program. Right-click the folder that contains the file, and then click Properties to check your permissions for the folder. Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.

I have Outlook 2010 with SP2.

Similar error, different problem.  Has workaround:

I turn OFF cached exchange mode.  I double-click the vcf file, it opens fine.

I turn ON cached exchange mode.  I double-click the vcf file, I get the erorr message again.

We have hosted Exchange, so we can't turn off cached exchange mode in Outlook.

Is this a bug?  Anybody know of a fix?

By the way, if I save one of my contact as a vcf file and double-click it, it opens fine.

Hi,

Where is the .vcf file stored? Is it sent to you as an Outlook attachment? If so, please try to login to your OWA and then forward the email which contains the .vcf file to yourself, and then check the issue in Outlook client again.

In addition, we can also try to rename the .ost file to .old and restart Outlook to sync a new one, then check if it helps.

Please let me know the result.

Thanks,
