I am attempting to import a series of contact tables (Quantity 11) from a
previously set up Access 2000 database into Outlook 2000 to use all the
features of the Outlook program. I am not as schooled in the working of
Access and feel the Outlook functions would better serve our current needs.

I have no luck with understanding instructional books and I was hoping that
someone in this discussion group could guide me in the right direction
without trying to sell me another book.

No one is trying to sell you a book. If you use the command indicated and follow the step-by-step wizard, you can complete the desirred task. Did you even try it?

I'm sorry I misunderstood your message and I appreciate your help. I am happy
to tell you that this morning when I went into Outlook and opened the import
wizard I was able to get data base tables to copy into the individual
designated Outlook folders, however I have noticed two errors in the imported
data. Both my zip codes and apartment numbers are coming out like the
following example: 1701.000. Is this problem with the original Assess 2000
data or Outlook? I would also like to know there is a way I could designate
the apartment number information with a heading stating apartment number
(Apt. 1701) in my Outlook address box in the form or will I have to reimport
this information after after correcting the Assess table info?

The issue is that your Access data is numeric, while the values in Outlook are strings. This article describes the problem and suggests a couple of solutions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238323/
