How to import 3 CSV fields into Outlook Contacts ?
 

I have a simple CSV file with 3 fields...

Fname-1,Lname-1,Email-1
Fname-2,Lname-2,Email-2
Fname-3,Lname-3,Email-3
Fname-4,Lname-4,Email-4
etc

- The file has about 100 records
- Outlook won't let me import it.

I exported a few records from a test folder in Outlook Contacts and see that
it exports all Field Names first...
and then eports each line of data...
and there is a bunch of data per line.

- Must I replicate all of that in my CSV file before I try and import it
into Outlook?
- Is there no way to import my simple CSV file and "Map" each of the fields
to the correct Outlook field?

thanks for any help.

Did you click the Map Custom Fields button during the import process to tell Outlook what fields to put that data into?
