The exported file to Access does not contain the street and town addresses.
When I whrite the street name in Access and import the file back til Outlook
the street names are not popping up i Outlook!! What do I do wrong?

The aim of the operation is to import a lot of addresses for a databases
into outlook and further to a PocketPC and then with a GPS be able find the
localities

Create a coupld of contacts in Outlook and then export them to Access.  Look
at how the exported file is laid out and massage yours accordingly.  Then,
try the import again.  Note: Outlook does not import custom fields.

There are 3 address groups you can pick from (one of which is designated as
the "Mailing Address" and shows as the default when you look at the Outlook
contact - note: you CANNOT export the "Mailing Address" for each contact
since that's not an option in the Outlook export wizard). One thing you may
want to look at is which address group you are importing to (Business, Home,
Other). (If you still some of your imported contacts - you may want to just
check to see if any of these three contain what you're looking for).
