Current versions of Outlook don't support multi-files. There are addins that
may work - see the last 2 addins on
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts.asp - there may be others.

I'm suffering with this as well...
One interesting thing is that outlook will accept VCard imports, but
only one card per file....
The program I am migrating from is quite happy to export all of my
contacts to a single VCard file
which I understand is permitted, but OL only reads the first "record"/
contact and then quits.

CSV "should" work, as suggest here, I recommend stepping thru the
import wizard to see what it
is "thinking" when it sees your CSV file.

There is also a Microsoft KB article on this topic:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810930
It is titled none other than: "How to import the Address Book from
Palm Desktop to Outlook"

Also, this company makes some "conversion" type software you might
find helpful: http://www.outlook4team.com/default.asp

Okay, let me pick up his question: I'm trying to import data from a Palm
(type= ".aba") to Outlook 07. Unfortunately OL only takes about 8 or 10
types of imports, and .aba ain't one of 'em. When we try to export the
Palm
contact data as .csv or .tab etc, the Palm pgm only exports a single
record--which I know isn't a Microsoft problem, but it's why I'm trying
to
find what *file formats* Outlook accepts other than .csv & .tab. Anyone
know? Meanwhile I'll try working the other side and see if we can get
Palm
to cooperate (which is why we're ditching it for Outlook.) Thx. --sf
