I'm trying to import an Excel-file in Outlook 2003
(Contacts).
So far no problem but how do I define the fields in
Outlook that they match the Columns from the Excel file??

No Outlook gives me quite a long list of fields that are
defined in Contacts but these fields are incompatable with
the Columns in Excel. Can I change these in Contacts??

The import and export wizard can import only into Outlook's built-in fields,
but you can use the "map" screen to match each Excel column with an Outlook
field. If you want other fields, you must add them to the contacts folder,
and use either code or a third-party tool to import. See
