1. Export your current Address Book as a TXT (CSV) file via Address Book
File Export Other Address Book ....

2. Examine the formatting of the CSV you just exported then format the CSV
exported from OL to conform to it. (MS Excel would be a handy application
to use for this.)

3. Despite the above, importing the correctly formatted CSV file from OL
might still make a mess of your current Address Book. Consider creating a
Standalone Address Book and importing the OL data into it instead. See
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#wabexe and note the restrictions
when using a Standalone to compose/send a message.

If/when you need to update the Standalone, delete the current one, create
a new one and then import the new data into it.

Exporting works fine.
I have MS Excel with basic knowledge, made a backup of my
Administrator.wab, and cleared the existing address book.
In Excel, all data seems to be situated in column A, and I gave order to
arrange things from AZ.
Exporting works fine. During import I have to define which field I want to
import, only one field can be chosen and I only had success by choosing
"name".
This results in a address book with only names. Repeating the process to add
more and choosing a other field results in Error while importing...
Not arranging the data from AZ is also no successful.
Your point 2. formatting the CSV will be my weak point ??
When sharing Outlook and O.E. there is a "engine" inside one of the programs
that does the transformation.
Does such engine exist in a stand alone version?

Thanks,
