(in top left of excel) Named all "Columns" different name than header - Named
range of information (a-g + 1 -155) then i did an "insert name define"
Went into outlook - followed the wizard - picked the name of the range to
import - it mapped itself so I viewed - all info correctly in right area.
did import - email was the only header that did not completely import - just
the first letter of the address. I also tried again and when I got to the
mapping point I cleared the map and did a drag & drop to map - same results

Did you create a named range in Excel before you did the import?
How did you map fields?

I imported from Excel ~ I did the import from the source workbook - it was
missing the email address (just first letter showed) so then I tried just
to
import the email column from excel - didnt work - I then made a new spread
sheet - renamed everything tried to import and the email addresses still
came
up with just the first character of the email (it was in the correct place
at
least!) So then I did a "copy/paste" while I was in the catagory view -
but
now when I try to send from the catagory (using -actionnew message to
contact) it says that "some of my contacts do not have email address and
their name will be used. I put all the addresses in! The email address
shows
both in the catagory view and in the edit contact tab. So how do I fix??!!

Importing is flawed in Outlook. You should use it only if you need to
import
from a different data source. Are you?
Never use importing to transfer data from one version of Outlook to
another.

I finally am able to import contacts, make catagories etc!! However,
when I
tried to import my contacts list ~ one of the headers - email - did not
import. I made sure it was labeled/named correctly ~ mapped correctly,
etc.,
also tried to import just that header ~ All that shows up in the email
slot
is the first letter of the persons name. It worked on the other
computer
when
I was learning! What do I need to do? I am running XP small business ~
outlook 2002
Thanks!!
