I'm running Windows XP with SP3 and latest updates with Office XP small
business.
When I try to import contacts from an excell spreadsheet I get the error:
Translation Error MAPI 0x80070057 and will not allow the import of my
contacts. The file was an export prior to an XP reload. I do not see much
to
help from the Microsoft website, any ideas

Is the Business Contact manager installed? If so, if the import for a regular
Contacts folder or the business contacts? Why did you export anything? Do
you still have access to the PST that was in use prior to the reload? That's
what you should have saved, not an export of anything.
