Do you have Outlook 2003 and Excel 2003?

Have you named the range in Excel, shut Excel and then gone to Outlook to
import using the Import wizard?

Trying to import names and addresses from Excel 2003 file to Outlook
Contacts
does not work correctly. Prepared Excel file with exact Field Names used
in
Outlook and followed HELP directions. Tried both matching field names and
mapping. But all it does is crunch and goes 'not responding'. List is
just
simple names address list with 185 line entries. I even shortened list to
five names with same result.

New Outlook user - Windows XP machine with 512 memory.
Long time MS Office Professional user.
Always used Outlook Express, before.
New boss wants contacts stored in 'Contacts'.

Please help....... Jim
