importing e-mail addresses into contacts
I exported my contact list into excel and then imported it into outlook 2003.
I did not realize that the e-mail addresses where not in excel. Is there any I can import the e-mail address into OL 2003 and match them up to the appropriate contact. What would be the quickest way to enter the appropriate e-mail address to my contacts? |

importing e-mail addresses into contacts
Brian,
Yes I am trying to transfer from one outlook to another. The problem is that the outlook that I am transferring from is not completely up to date so if I did another transfer of all contact information I would loose some contact information from my current outlook files. I am just trying to extract the e-mail address and match them up with the contacts that I do have. I am not sure if it is possible.

importing e-mail addresses into contacts
If I understand correctly, what you want to do is import another file of
information that contains the email addresses that were not present originally and "update" existing contacts in your contact folder. There is no facility to "update" contacts within Outlook's import function. You would need a 3rd party product (i.e. ContactGenie DataPorter is one - see link below) or write your own code. What you would need to ensure is that there is a field (or set of fields) that can be used to specifically match the contacts in the contact folder to the data contained in the input data file.

With Outlook closed on the source computer, copy the PST from that PC to the new PC, place it on the hard disk, remove the read-only attribute if necessary, and open it on the new PC in Outlook with FiIleOpenOutlook Data File. You can then drag-and-drop as you wish from the old PST to the new. -- Brian Tillman |
