I am trying to import an EXCEL file into my Outlook 2003 calendar. However,
when I get to "Map Custom Fields," Outlook is not offering me the fields I need. In the left side "From: Microsoft Excel," I have fields including First Name and Last Name. However, on the right side "To: Microsoft Outlook Calendar", no name fields are offered for me to which I can map the EXCEL fields. The Outlook fields offered in order are Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date and then more for a total of 22 fields. However, besides First Name and Last name, I want birthday and anniversary, but those fields are not displayed either. Why is Outlook not offer the common fields of First Name and Last Name to which I can map my EXCEL data? I will appreciate advice. |

First Name, Last Name, Birthday and Anniversary are all fields related to Outlook contacts, not calendars.
