Yes creating a new contact from scratch works--but that
doesn't really solve my problem. I maintain my contact
information in my Access database (I haven't yet
converted the db from 2000 to 2002)and I periodically
overwrite my existing Outlook contact list with the
information from the Access db to keep it current. There
must be something wrong because I could do this with no
problems with Windows 98 and Office 2000 software--what
else is the import function for otherwise?

Can the email field be corrupt if the address is
displaying correctly in the contacts list? How does
one "un-corrupt" the field?
