Error message was just an error has occured - save all infor - outlook will
restart. I did create a named range - named all columns at the name function
on top left - names were different from column headers. saved file - field
mapping was checked - did not see any problems. One header was imported
before an error occured so all I have in my contacts folder is 155 "state"
listings.

YOu didn't say what the error message was or what version of Outlook you're using. To import from Excel, you must create a named range that covers the data you want to import, and then save the .xls file. You should also check the field mapping in the import wizar.

I am still having problems with outlook contacts. Created a new personal
folder ~ manually added 1 contact ~ it worked! tried to import from excel
(again) and again recieved an error message and outlook restarted. I made
sure that all excel fields and columns were named and all cells had something
in them. Do not understand why it wont import. I really do not want to enter
all manually! Any ideas?
