I am trying to import my contacts from my palm desktop to outlook 2003.

When I had my palm desktop open and the contacts open on the screen I went
file export vcard and saved the file in my documents.

When I open outlook and click on the contacts window and try to import the
vcard from my documents nothing happnes my contacts in outlook nothing is
there?

How do I get my contacts imported from my palm desktop and my yahoo contacts.

thanks

is this a single vcard file? outlook doesn't support importing these files.
sperrysoftware.com may have an addin that can or you can export them as
single files.

as long as it's one vcard per contact, try opening the vcard and click save
and close - if it works, drag and drop the others into outlook's contact's
folder.
