Cannot save Contacts from vcf

For some reason, one user cannot save contacts that are
opened from an attached VCF file. He clicks on "Save and
Close" or "Close and New" and in the latter case a new
contact window opens - in both cases however, the contact
is not added. He is saving to mailbox and not personal
folder.
There seems to be no problem with permissions since he
can take the attachment and drag it to the Contacts
folder where it is saved. Curious.
If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great.
 
Hi Jack,


The Possible CAUSE :
The Import and Export Wizard uses very strict parsing instructions when
determining the correct vCard file format. You can encounter the error
above when the vCard file does not strictly adhere to the correct format.

You can demonstrate this problem by inserting white space after the colon
in the "BEGIN:VCARD" text string on the first line of the vCard file. Since
this is an invalid format, the Import and Export Wizard does not import the
file.

RESOLUTION
Use the following workarounds to save the information as a contact item:
Double-click the vCard file to open it as a contact item, and save it as a
contact.
Drag the file onto your Contacts folder in the Folder list.
Drag the file onto your Contacts shortcut on the Outlook Bar.
