DESCRIPTION
Filemaker vCard Creator is a Filemaker database that converts your database records/Tab Delimited file to one vCard that can be imported or dragged and dropped onto Mac OS X Address Book.

Simply import your file or existing records into the corresponding fields in the vCard Creator database and hit export to create ONE vCard file for ALL records.

This was created to load up my Address book with all my Clients and Suppliers from my Filemaker database. I did this so I could use iSync to get the data over Bluetooth to my Mobile Phone. Its a quick and easy solution that you can use time and time again if you need to update your addressbook. There is another vCard creator out there (Address Book vCard Creator) which only does one record at a time - thats why I wrote my version.

This is shareware which allows you to try with 5 records to make sure this solution is suitable for your needs. Please pay what you think it is worth to you (minimum of $10) via Paypal. Instructions on use and registering are all within the Database.

    MACSIMSKI  after downloading and importing my cards it tells me that it will only export 5 cards. waiste of my time...

    anyway, i did a tab export in my regular filemaker database and used addressbooks 10.4 own text importer. works like a charm. so this software is now for the museum

    HILTONB  Ah, I see it now! When you download v3.0 you get a package which includes v2.9.1 for earlier versions of FileMaker.

    HILTONB  The "minimum requirements" include FMP 5.5, but vCard Creator won't open unless you use FMP 7.

    RICHARD  There is currently no upgrade charge for vCard Creator so there was no need to pay twice. If you had contacted me with whatever problem you had, you would have found this out.

    RICHARD  I would say there was a problem when you imported your data, please contact me and maybe send me a copy of the file.

    DAVID MULHOLLAND  Every time they update Address Book, I panic.  Thanks to this little program, I can easily convert my FileMaker database into vCards for easy import. Initially my database was unruly, but when I notified them of my problem, they issued a new version that handled it flawlessly. A useful little utility. Well worth the few dollars it cost.

    RYAN  It worked great! I'm glad I had a little bit of knowledge of FileMaker developing before use, but overall, a great product.

    RICHARD CHRISTAIN  Filemaker vCard Creator has now been updated to solve the problems with importing to the Address Book in Panther 10.3. The Panther Applescript has also been simplified and tested. Anybody who cannot get this App to work is welcome to send me an email and I will gladly try and help out. However for most people it works fine.

    BOB PAYNE  A very good effort of a much needed utility, but the instructions need a page or two of step-by-step instructions telling:

    1. What exactly is a vcard and why you need Creator to transfer addresses to Mail.

    2. Understanding the process of doing the transfer; how to use the "data base" provided with Creator and other information to make it eaiser to use.

    3, The ignorance distance between the programmer and the user is vast. make vcard so simple to understand anyone can work with it. I couldn't make it work, sorry.
