Hi, Like the "mailto:" keyword in hyperlink (this opens clients outlook's email sending page (window)), what should be the keyword or tag for open the cleint's outlook's add new contact's window from html ?

A:
There is no such keyword. The mailto: is a defined standard to open the client's default E-Mail application. There is nothing similar related to the local contacts list.
This may be possible in Internet Explorer using proprietary VBScript and specific security settings - but it also may not.

@Lalit you could serve it as a VCF file download, that would open it in whatever program is configured to do it on the client's machine.

No..no ... I don't want to serve it fro download. in fact it will automatically save on server in file system. I just want to pick it from that file location programmatically and open directly in the outlook porcess. how to do this??

come on... see, I will create the vcf file in some location means like "c://MyvcfFiles/myvcf.vcf" like this. then want to map path programmatically the created vcf file from the "c://MyvcfFiles/myvcf.vcf" path. and it will be open directly in the outlook. clear sir?

@Lalith no, not clear. What is the server here, and what is the client? Where exactly are you generating the vcf file? How does the client have access to it?
