Empty imported contacts
Hi
I read Microsofts manual for importing contacts into Outlook from Hotmail. When I import the contacts I get 200 empty contacts. I import as semicolon separated values. I dont see the comm separated values. Anyone who can help me? I am running Windows 7. Thanks so much! Erik

You provided no information with your post.
Exactly what instructions did you read? We have no way of knowing what you tried. If you wanted to import a CSV file, you would first need to create such a file. Did you? What iteration of "Hotmail" are you using and how are you connecting to it? What version of Outlook are you using? -- Russ Valentine "Erik" wrote in message ...

Is it correct to assume that this is a non-North American setup
(specifically - in your regional settings - is the list separator character a semi-colon?). Short answer to your question is that the CSV file must use the same "field separator" value as the Outlook import process is expecting. MS Office programs, for instance, create CSV files using the list separator character found in your regional settings - making the term "CSV" file in those cases a misnomer. Not sure about the Hotmail export process and whether or not it takes any regional settings into account. If it's not an issue with the separator character then the other question is - did you manually verify the Outlook import field map or just assume that the Outlook auto-map will do everything correctly? If the CSV fields are not mapped to the correct Outlook fields - nothing will get imported except empty data. (during import process - click on Map Custom Fields when that button shows itself) Karl __________________________________________________ __________ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer/DataPorter/Exporter/Toolkit/Duplicate Contact Mgr "Contact import/export/data management tools for Outlook '2000/2007" http://www.contactgenie.com "Erik" wrote in message ...
