importing excel file into Outlook contacts
I've requested our Tech Support area to put a separate Contacts database on
the network and they have done so, provided me with a shortcut and I'm trying to import contact info. from an excel file into the Outlook Contact database. However, when I try to save as a .csv file the Import Wizard stops (won't allow me to click "Next") at the mapping window. I have tried to import the file as an excel file and have mapped the fields (have even changed the field names in my Excel file to ensure import) to no avail. What happens is I can get through the wizard if I use the Excel file, but when it copies the Contact info it is really copying my personal Outlook Contacts into the Outlook Contact database that is on the network (which we are trying to share between 3 people). If you have any info as to how to resolve this - or if it is a twofold resolution (an error I'm making with the .csv file) and an error on the part of our Network Administrator (probably copied my Contact database instead of creating a new one)?? - thank you very much! |

I think you might need to explain what this "separate Contacts database" is.
