MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2006exporting from outlook problem with csv file
Hello, I am trying to export the contacts from outlook to a web based address book. It is outlook 2003. I followed the instructions in outlook to first make a csv file. Then it would say "exporting contacts" with the graphic. Then there were no addresses on the excel document. Why is it empty? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Did you click the Map Custom Fields button to tell Outlook which fields to export?

Hi Sue, Thanks for the reply. I notice that in outlook, on the import/export wizard, there is no choice of fields to export. I followed all the instructions and got an excel document with no contacts in it. I will just type them in to the other address book. I notice, however, that there is such an option when exporting from outlook express. > It's on the File | Import and Export wizard in Outlook. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> > there were no addresses on the excel document.

After you choose the folder to export from and the export file location, you should see a screen in the wizard with a Map Custom Fields button on it. Did you try opening the exported file with Notepad? Are you sure you exported from the correct folder?

There was no choice to "map custom fields". I just tped everyting in after all. Just now wondering why this doesn't work.

I was suggesting Notepad as a more generic way of examining a text file.

Hi Sue I fianally got it to work. I think that button was either grayed out and came back or I just didn't see it. Sorry.
