If Excel won't let you save worksheet as a CSV file coupled with the
original issue then would suggest creating a new workbook and re-construct
your worksheet. If you can't save it as a CSV file - then you have some more
serious issues with your overall configuration. Alternatively, it is very
possible that you have a corrupted Excel workbook so I wouldn't discount
that as a possibility. We've had a few workbooks sent to us that were
corrupt which only really became evident when we went beyond just opening
the workbook.

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
