I have spent all day trying to find an answer to this problem, and
nothing helps. Here's what I'm trying to do: quit using Outlook Express
6 and start using Outlook 2002. How do I transfer my address book and
all my message files? When I try the normal Import procedure (from OL),
it only gives me a list of certain file types I can import, but it
won't let me import a .csv (Windows) file (my address book) because it
says I need to install a translator. So when I put in my Office CD-ROM
at the prompt, it says it can't locate the file needed. Then I moved on
and tried to import my mail message back-up folder, but the same thing
happened and OL didn't list .dbx files on their list of importable
files. I can't believe there is not an easier way to share (transfer)
data between these two programs. Am I missing something here?

Hi Duke Girl,

It should be easy to import a CSV file into an Outlook Contacts folder. This
should be a basic function. The best place to find help for this issue would
be in an Outlook group. I could provide step-by-step instructions if you'd
care to try it again before seeking help in an Outlook group.

To transfer messages, Import from Outlook Express or Export to Outlook from
OE -- on the same PC. The addresses could also be imported from OE.

Outlook Help is one resource to use. Here is assistance found this way for
Outlook 2002 and 2003:
