You can associate all CRD files with cardfile.exe. Then make a shortcut to any of your CRD files and the shortcut will auto-launch cardfile.exe and open your clicked CRD file in it.

How do you associate CRD files with cardfile.exe? Easy. Right click any of your CRD files, select Properties. On the General tab, there is an item labeled: "Opens with:". There is a "CHANGE" button to the right of that which, when clicked, takes you to a list of applications from which you can choose. You can have your system open CRD files with whatever application you choose but CRD files are native to cardfile.exe so that would be your best choice.

hope this helps.

    This program works for my Windows 7 but only thing it does not do is let you print the contacts it stops working if you try to print from it.

    I've tried AZZ and every other work-alike program to get something to read my CRD data on my W7 64 bit machine.

    I finally just used my old XP machine and printed my .CRD file to a text file.

    You have to print to an RTF file so the formatting s acceptable. But I can open it with notepad or any other text editor on my 64 bit machine. You can still do a search and none of my old data that I have saved through all the windows iterations is lost.

    I even loaded it into my Android tablet. Works great. Not pretty but functional.

    I found the 32 bit version that came with Windows NT today at http://internetvail.com/files/

    It works on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    Apparently the cardfile.hlp is no longer needed as I only downloaded the exe and it worked.  The .zip is the same thing just zipped up.

    Hi, my system crashed a few day ago and I lost my cardfile.exe... the link above requires a user id & password that I do not have.  I would appreciate it if you would send me the zipped file that you downloaded to me at ******@rassiner.com.

    Many thanks,

    Brian Rassiner

    An easy work around is to print your old cardfile (Cardsname.crd) to a textfile and open it with notepad in Windows 7 64 bit. Not neat and tidy like good old cardfile but ...

    You have to install a printer to print to a textfile and then specify .rtf file for your output instead of .txt

    The good news is that you don't lose all those cards you have maintained
