I am trying to get MS Outlook 2000 to import records from Lotus Organizer 97.   Only 2 records are transferred.  They are fine, but I need the other 1,000 records, too!  Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Sorry for the incomplete question.

I am using the Import function in Outlook 2000 to import my address file, which is in Lotus Organizer 97.  
From "Contacts" in Outlook, I use  the Import and Export function, clicking on "Import from another program or file."
I then select "Lotus Organizer 97" and insert the name of the file to be imported.
I select the option of "allow duplicates to be created."
The only category checked is "import address into folder:contacts" (I am not importing dates or calendar, etc)
I map custom fields
Outlook then appears to transfer the file, but only 2 records out of more than 1,000 in Lotus appear in Contacts.

Thanks for any advice you may be able to give me.

Odd. I see no such option for importing from Lotus Organizer 97--only 4.x
and 5.x
Think that might be the problem?

Hello

I too have a Lotus Address book and wanted to transfer it to Outlook. I
exported the Lotus address data to a DBF file. Opened the DBF file and
removed several blank columns. then I imported it into Outlook. Seems to
work OK.
