MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005Importing files from Excel
I am having trouble importing a database from excel into Outlook. When I Map the fields, it gives me only one field per record to choose. The result is the First Name, Last Name, Address, etc. end up in separate records. Make sure that when you set up the named range in Excel, it covers all the data you want to import.

I have checked that the range includes all the data - have you any other suggestions?

Exactly what symptoms are you seeing, and in what version of Outlook?

Outlook 2003. Just thousands of files with nothing in them. > Exactly what symptoms are you seeing, and in what version of Outlook? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >> > the fields, it gives me only one field per record to choose.

I can't imagine a scenario in which importing from an Excel worksheet would create thousands of files -- or even one file. Items, yes. Files, no. When you perform the import, are you confirming the field mapping?
