I cannot remember if I saved it again and no I did not include the column
headdings the first time. The second time I tried it I highlighted the
headdings as well.

Did you save the file after adding the named range? Does the range include all the data you want to import and column headings that tell you what data is in each column?

Sue, This is helping me too. However, now that I am able to get the
information to cross over to contacts. It will not pull over my first
contact. I mapped out the crossover. I hope you can give me more
answers...Thanks a bunch. Laura
