Anyone know how to display pictures on the little vCard thingies in the contact window of Outlook 2000? You can insert bitmap images into the notes section underneath all the contact info for a given contact, and then you can use the show fields function to display your notes and anything you have written will be displayed but not the picture - any suggestions anyone?

Get a LOT more monitors, have each contact open on each screen (must be possible?) and sellotape a polaroid of each person to the respective screens. Hey presto!

So says the non-computer literate bloke. Just trying to help...
