Importing Contacts from Excel file
Hello:
Since I had to install a new hard drive to my laptop, I saved, exported my contacts list to a XLS file. I opened this file and see all my contacts in there. Now I am trying to import all of them back into Outlook. When I do the steps and it completes I look in my contacts and only a few are there and of the ones that are there, they are out of order and by name I mean, plus there is no spacing between the first and last names too. No idea what is wrong. Can someone help me out here?

Importing Contacts from Excel file
Nothing to go on here. Post the steps you are using, including how you named
your range and how you mapped your fields. Exporting to a foreign file format is never a good idea and in no way backs up data. It only loses data. Do you have your original data file? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Scott" wrote in message news Hello: Since I had to install a new hard drive to my laptop, I saved, exported my contacts list to a XLS file.
