vCard site demo

Hello,

I have been working on a web based vCard and I thought I'd share it for feedback. The link(s) below will open a web page that has a "Windows Address Book" styled vCard on it. 

In IE, you can download this database generated vCard to your Outlook or Windows Address Book. NS7 can view the online vCard but can not add it to their NS address book(yet). Opera Browsers can also view, but not download.

The concept really surrounds the "Notes" portion of the vCard located in the "Other" tab. The web address of the vCard is shown if the vCard is downloaded to your address book, for convenience. 

If vCards were stored on the internet, then we could revisit the web address and get an updated card without having to request it from the owner. Likewise If my data changed, I could simply log into a vCard site and edit my card and maybe click one "send" button to alert those in my online address book that I'd made a change.

If you'd like to create your own vCard to play around with, simply go to http://www21.brinkster.com/seeit360/login.asp, and sign-up. You do not need to use a real email address as the demo does not send out a confirmation email to verify the user. Remember the email address and password you give however because it is your user name/pw for login.

I am in the early stages of this project and would like comments and possible collaborators, especially those with DB experience.

Many items in the address book are under construction so if it does not work, please consider it a "todo". Also, please don't edit your vCard using an Opera Browser. There are known problems I am working around. 

This is currently on an MS Access database and placed on a free site that has some download restrictions so please remember that.

Thanks and I look forward to your feedback.
