Thanks, Karl.

I am guessing you are speaking of naming the whole data set as "Contacts",
as I had seen in the web page "In Microsoft Outlook, how can I import address
information from an Excel workbook into my Contacts list?" at Indiana
University, page

http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/aspx/po...l&sdgloc=en-US

I have also read another post that tells me to Range Name each field-column
by iits field name, but that is the scheme which had resulted in my mass
mess of blank (or nearly blank) records, many of which had only one active
field per record!

Will try Range Name "Contacts", and go again.

Thanks!

Most likely cause of extra records is that the "Named Range" in the Excel
worksheet is not set correctly. Make sure it only encompasses the data you
want to import (along with the first header row containing the field names)

Hmm, finally Ended Task (after 30-40 minutes). re-opened Outlook & found
22,458 new empty records.
