Default Outlook 2003 not importing from Excel

Karl,
I have the same problem importing contacts. However, excel will not let me
save the file as a csv. What is the next option?
thanks

Most likely cause of problem is the "named range" for the data you want to
import is either not specified in the workbook or is incorrect (other than
that - importing from Excel in Outlook works exactly as advertised).

Alternate solution - save the worksheet you want to import as a CSV file
and import that file into Outlook instead, mapping the fields as required.
This approach saves a lot people a great deal of aggravation since named
ranges do not come into play in this scenario.

I have tried a couple of times now to import contacts (28 of them) from a
spreadsheet into Office Outlook 2003 SP3 (running under Vista Home
Premium).

The Import dialogue progresses perfectly well, and enables me to select
spreadsheet (though not the page within it!) and the contacts folder to
use. It then lets me map the fields as I wish, and goes through a
progress window where it claims to be importing the entries.

Afterwards I find that none of the entries in the spreadsheet has been
imported. None at all. They aren't in any other contacts list either.

Is this a known problem?

Is there a solution?

TIA
Richard
