Could you define exactly what "It starts to import, then fails" means?

Specifically:

#1) fails how?
#2) With what error message?
#3) do you also get an indeterminate number of blank contacts before "it
fails"

In the interests of time, if your import also results in blank contacts
prior to failure, then the first issue would be the "named range" that's
been defined. One quick thing that you can do to avoid the issue of "named
range" is to save your worksheet as a CSV file and import that and see if
your import still fails.

I am having the same problem. I am already doing what Sue suggests. I
tried
several times. It starts to import, then fails.

You need to set a named range in the worksheet to cover all the rows and
columns to be imported and then in Outlook's Import and Export wizard,
click the Map Custom Fields button to tell Outlook which column's data to
put into which Outlook property.
