I have imported contacts from an .xls file.

Outlook 2000 > Outlook 2003 on a different machine.

Fairly sure i have mapped correctly.

Contacts seem ok, there is a recognised email address,
however when i bring up a new email msg and go to contacts in the drop down
fields no addresses appear, nor when i type a name in does it find one.

Any help appreciated.
Coran.

I got this sorted. I had assumed that it could be automatically looked up,
didnt realise i had to click this option under properties.

Never use export or import when transferring data from one instance of
Outlook to another. There's no need and you lose data.

Fair enough, thanks.
I was actually moving jobs also, different company, different account.
Wasnt sure how to move so i just dumped the contacts into .xls.
Anway, thanks for the reply.
