Do you have a "named range" in Excel that you are importing? Name the
range. Close Excel and then try importing again.

My problem is that when importing into outlook. I select the file to
import
then the next screen does not allow me to go any further as the next
button
and the map custom fields button are greyed out.

I have spent many hours now trying to find a solution and followed lots
of
advise, so far I have tried importing from access, excel, csv and have
the
same problem with them all.

I updated my installation so everything is loaded correctlt, I ran the
detect and repair and all seems ok.

I do not have a box to tick in the import system which a lot of forums
mention. 2002 obviously does not have this or its extremely well
hidden.

Can anyone help please
