Default How do I import data from Lotus Organiser 6.0 into Outlook con

I'm trying to do the same thing. When you talk about making the first row
contain the field names are you doing that in Excell? Exporting directly form
Organizer 6.o creates it's own very long list of field names. How can I get
around that?

Really not much to "mapping fields" - just follow the screens (make sure
that the first row in the file you have created to import contains the field
names - otherwise known referred to as a header row) and when the Outlook
import screen appears in the sequence that shows "Map Custom fields" - click
on it which will present you with the Import Data fields (left hand side)
and Outlook fields on the right hand side - just drag the fields you want to
import on the left to the appropriate fields on the right. If the "Map
Custom Fields" button doesn't get highlighted - just means you haven't
checked the box beside the item you want to import. Other then that - you
should be set to go and the whole process should be done in a couple of
minutes.
