Hi Colin,

Thanks for your reply.

Strange you couldn't import a csv file.

For a test I attached a small csv file for you to try.

It consist of onyx three names and they do import into my address book.

Save attachment, test file.csv, to a location in My Documents.

To import into your address book open Outlook Express, choose File | Import
| Other Address Book.

In the Address Book Import Tool dialog window select Text File (Comma
Separated Values), choose Import

In the CSV Import dialog window Browse to and Open the saved attachment,
test file.csv, choose Next, there should be a check mark display for First
Name and Last Name, choose Finish.

Import should have completed.

Open Address Book to confirm.

This should confirm if your Outlook Express can import a csv file.

You can open test file.csv with Notebook to view how a csv file should look.

Ken
