  # BusinessCardView Object (Outlook)
  
  Represents a view that displays data as a series of Electronic Business Card (EBC) images.
  
  
  ## Remarks
  
  The  **BusinessCardView** object, derived from the **[View](view-object-outlook.md)** object, allows you to create customizable views that allow you to better sort, group and ultimately view contact items in Outlook as a series of Electronic Business Cards, each of which displays the contact information for an Outlook contact item based on the EBC design associated with the contact item.
  
  Use the  **[Add](views-add-method-outlook.md)** method of the **[Views](views-object-outlook.md)** collection to add a new **BusinessCardView** to a **[Folder](folder-object-outlook.md)** object.
  
  Use the  **[Filter](businesscardview-filter-property-outlook.md)** property to determine which Outlook contact items to display in the view, the **[CardSize](businesscardview-cardsize-property-outlook.md)** property to specify the size of each Electronic Business Card in the view, and the **[HeadingsFont](businesscardview-headingsfont-property-outlook.md)** to retrieve the **[ViewFont](viewfont-object-outlook.md)** object for the view. Use the **[LockUserChanges](businesscardview-lockuserchanges-property-outlook.md)** property to allow or prevent changes to the user interface for the view.
  
  
  ## Example
  
  The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates, saves, and applies a new  **BusinessCardView** object.
  
  
  ```
  Sub CreateBusinessCardView() 
   
   
   
   Dim objName As NameSpace 
   
   Dim objViews As Views 
   
   Dim objView As BusinessCardView 
   
   
   
   ' Get the Views collection of the Inbox default folder. 
   
   Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
   
   Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Views 
   
   
   
   ' Create the new view. 
   
   Set objView = objViews.Add( _ 
   
   "Card View", _ 
   
   olBusinessCardView, _ 
   
   olViewSaveOptionAllFoldersOfType) 
   
   
   
   ' Save and apply the new view. 
   
   objView.Save 
   
   objView.Apply 
   
   
   
  End Sub
  ```
