Default Importing contacts from Excell to Outlook

I had to do the named ranges in Excell to get my contacts into Outlook,
however, now that I am able to get the information to cross over to contacts.
It will not pull over my first contact in the file. I mapped out the
crossover. I hope you can give me more answers... Can anyone help me.
Thanks a bunch. Laura

I know it sounds silly, but did you attempt to put in a blank line?

I know that I had to do this when very simply taking a distribution
list from a mailbox on one domain/exchange server farm and adding it to
another. I used a CSV though, the person was happy with a name and an
email address.

Matt, No I did not try to put in a blank line. I tried just the information
needed first. Then I tried it with my column headers. I just can't figure
this out. And now I have another problem with another file......I get an ODBC
driver error states too many fields defind..

Default Importing contacts from Excell to Outlook

First suggestions would be to verify that your "named range" covers "all"
pertinent rows starting with the header row down to the last row you want to
import.

In terms of too many fields defined - are you mapping more then 127 fields
by any chance (or have more then 127 columns in your named range)? That's
where we've seen that error come up.

One way to get around "named ranges" is to save your worksheet as a CSV file
and import that instead. You'll see exactly what is being picked for data in
the CSV file itself should the need arise.
