how do i import a contact vcard as a contact?

QuickBase doesn't support directly importing data from VCards, but you're not out of luck.

If you're trying to get contacts from Outlook or another email program and into QuickBase, you can first export your contacts from your mail program as a CSV file, and then import that CSV file into QuickBase:

• Outlook to CSV: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA101870639.aspx
• CSV to QuickBase: http://www.quickbase.com/help/importing_data.html

If all you have is a .VCF or .VCard file, you're not out of luck. One way would be to import the CSV into your address book, and then export as a CSV and import that CSV to QuickBase. A quick Google Search for "VCF to CSV" also turns up some results. I haven't used them myself, and I have no idea if it works, but this may get you a CSV that you can import to QuickBase:

You will probably want to change "Format" to "CSV", change "tab" separator to "comma", and check the box that says "Add Header Line".
