Why won't Outlook 2003 import my contacts entered in Excel?
So I first imported a couple contacts from an Excel spreadsheet I created as
sort of a tester and it worked perfectly. I created the spreadsheet based on fields from an exported Outlook contact so that my fields would correspond in each program. The first tester sheet worked fine. I then entered additional contact information and now Outlook will not even pick up one bit of the data. I've remapped the fields twice just to make sure I didn't make any errors. What is going on? Info that might be helpul: It is linked to an Access database as well. I've been experimenting with ways to get it to work via other contact managers. |

... No... How do I do that? Select (ie highlight) all the data and in the Name box at the top LH side of the window, type in a name. Anything will do AFAIK... |

Unfortunately, when I do that and press enter the selection changes from what
I had originally chosen (which included the new contacts I had added in addition to the tester contacts) to just a selection of the original tester contacts. Grrr....

Grrr.... Sounds like the original data already had a range name - call the larger range a different name.. |

Alternative to Excel & Named Range.........
#1 - Save current worksheet as a CSV file #2 - Import CSV file into Outlook instead of Excel file Karl __________________________________________________ _ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer 1.3 / DataPorter 2.0 / Exporter "Power contact importers/exporters for MS Outlook '2000/2007" http://www.contactgenie.com "mrider" wrote in message ...
