Karl, Thanks for the reply. You have me going in the right direction now. I
went back to my "exporting" program and selected "export heading" in the
export process. Now when I go to import into OL 2007 and am in the mapping
window I have some "fields" before the 1st contact. I still have to "next"
to the first contact so I can map first/last name busines addy and phone and
home addy and phone etc etc. When I do the import I get the 1st contact now,
but I also get a contact "first name" "last name". So now instead of
importing 2 contacts I'm importing 4 (3 accurate conatcts and 1 FirstName,
LastName)

I'm definitely on the right track though.

By the sounds of things, you have a CSV file with no header row (first
record containing field names for all the columns in the subsequent rows).

Suggest you add a header row, map your fields and then just import the file
without cycling thru the records from the left hand side of the field map
screen. Think you'll find that all of your contacts will be imported
(barring any other issues in your CSV file).

I'm testing the import procedures and capabilities of Outlook 2007. I
have a
small csv file which has 3 contacts in it. For this particular import I
have
allowed duplicates to be created. In the custom mapping area all fields
have
been mapped. When I click "next" it moves from the 1st contact to the
second. When I click "next" again it moves to the 3rd contact. However,
when I click "next" a third time it doesn't take me back to the 1st
contact.
It takes me back to the 2nd contact, and if I click "next" again it takes
forward to the 3rd contact....moving back and forth between 2 and 3. Only
when I click "previous" it will take me back to the 1st contact. This may
be
relevant when I get to my problem, but for now I'm confirming that 3
contacts
are in the .csv file (they are listed in Excel when I open in Excel).

In Outlook I select "import from another program or file" then "comma
separated values (Windows)" then I select the .csv file created (with 3
contacts) then "allow duplicates to be ceated" then I select the contact
folder I want these contacts in. I have three different contact folders
to
sort contacts by type.

Afte all of this Outlook only imports contact 2 and 3.....NOT contact 1.
I
have tried rebooting, deleting the csv file and
reexporting/reimporting...all
with no luck. It won't import the 1st contact in that file.

Any ideas?


Thanks
