Forwarding contacts creates duplicates

[Kris]

I use Outlook 2003. I update contacts and then forward them to co-workers.
If I use the forward command, when they save the contact they are not asked
if they want to replace the old contact information (as is the case when
entering contacts) so they end up with duplicates.
If I forward the contact as a vcard, the "file as..." field is not in the
correct format
and the categories field is empty.
I also tried inserting them as Outlook Items in an RTF message and the
duplicates were added.
Is there a solution?

While outlook 2003 is better as detecting duplicates than older versions,
it's still far from perfect. The only resolution is deleting the dupes or
using a tool to locate them.
