I am trying to import a csv file of contacts into Outlook 2003. The format
of the file is
"entry 1","entry 2",...,"entry n"
I go to import/export and select import from a file. Then I select a Comma
Separated Values (Windows) file format. Then I select the file to import..
Then I select contacts as the folder to be imported to.
Then I get a screen that has "Import "filename" into folder Contacts".
However the Map Custom Fields button is not highlighted and the Next button
is not highlighted. At that point I can do nothing. I check and the file
properties were archive so I uncecked the archive and tried again with the
same results. Any suggestions on what to try next.
Thanks

Ensure you have a Named Range in your .csv. You may want to export a couple
of contacts from Outlook to a .csv format and compare the 2.

Thanks for the info. Figured it out last night - needed to have the first
line have the data field definitions in it. However, I am now having the
same problem with a calendar file. This time I put the info in the first line
"Date","Begin Time","End Time","Test"
"date 1","begine time1","end time 1","text1"
etc.
Assume it's still something simple
Thanks
