Not sure why you are surprised nor why you couldn't find the answer. It is
common knowledge here that exporting and importing are the worst way to
transfer Outlook data. There is never any reason to do so. Doing so through
a non-Outlook format makes no sense whatsoever. A great deal of data is lost
when you do so, including all derived fields like the File As... field.
Did you happen to back up your data file? Do you still have access to it so
you can transfer your data correctly?

I create a new contact.
When I got to my view, any view, the contact appears as "blank" because
the
view does not recognize the "file as" field. If I view by "phone list",
the
"File as" field is blank.

Two days ago, I exported my contacts on on my business computer (Outlook
2003) to an excel file because I wanted to put it onto my personal
computer
(Outlook 2003). When I imported the excel file into my Contacts, I got
all
the contact information, but when viewing the contacts in "as detailed
address card", they all appeared as blank. This started by problem.

I have spend three days searching the net, but cannot find any solution.

Please help?

ps, I even ran "detect and repair", restarted, but no help
