I'd like to Import a .csv file of contacts with IM addresses. I have
user-defined AOL IM and Yahoo IM, but can't seem to get them moved over to the map with other fields. Suggestions? -- XP with all updates. Windows Live OneCare subscriber. Outlook 2000. |

If your reference to "I have user-defined AOL IM and Yahoo IM
addresses,......" refers to user-defined fields in Outlook, answer is that you cannot import to any cusotm fields using the standard Outlook import wizard. You'll need a 3rd party tool for that (such as ContactGenie Importer or DataPorter etc http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm) or write your own custom code. If the above references fields within the CSV file, you simply need to manually map the fields to any of the available Outlook fields shown by the Outlook import wizard.
