Thanks for responding, Sue.
I was trying to get a new laptop to accept all my Contacts.
Since I wrote the post, the laptop is now 1,900 miles away and -- as of this
moment -- does not yet have internet access, although that's coming.
I will be back with my laptop next month and will attempt to reconnect with
you and this stream around July 9 or 10.

I have been only partially successful in importing contacts from a csv file
to Outlook '03 with small business manager. I get a MAPI error, and an A
through H data dump. Meanwhile, the remainder of my 600+ contacts are in
limbo. It just says to "try to import your contacts again later."

I began by mapping my Excel file. That didn't work, so I saved it as a csv.
Mapped that. Now I've separated the I through Z entries into a separate file,
and can't get the Outlook wizard to take them, either.

This is frustrating, as one may guess. Any clues? fixes? ideas?

Help!
