Make sure that the checkbox beside the folder you want to import to is
checked - else the "Map Custom Fields" button will not activate.

Just in case this also applies - the term "Map Custom Fields" does not mean
being able to map to any "user-defined fields" with or without a custom
form - only standard fields are accessible for importing using the standard
contact form via Outlook's import/export process.

...
I was able to get this done and have moved to another road block.
I am not able to define the Custom Fields as the Map Custom Fields button,
in Outlook is not available.....I am supposed to have the option "The
following Actions will be performed" from which to choose Import & Map
Custom
Fields... and it is not there....???

Select the range of cells in Excel that you want to import (say, from A1
to
J12) and while that block is selected, type a name for the range in the
box
above the grid, to the left of the formula bar (it usually has a cell
number
in it and if you hover over the box it should say Name Box). Now save
and
close the spreadsheet and try to import from Outlook again.

I am trying to import a file from excel to my contacts. I am at a
window that says... the microsoft Excel file has no named ranges. Use
Microsoft Excel to name the range of data you want to import.
