I have created two Contact folders under the Primary Contact folder under
Public Folders. I have an Excel spreadsheet that I would like to import data into them. During the import process, I do not see Public Folders as a choice (only my mailbox and Personal Folders). Is it possible to do this? And, from all the other messages I'm seeing, is this a difficult process? I have an Exchange 2003 server, client users are on Outlook 2002 and 2003 and it's an Excel 2002 document. Thanks, Marilyn |

Make a Contacts Folder in your Mailbox as the destination. Once the data is
in, you can drag the folder to the Public Folders. Improting from Excel works fine as long as you name the range and close Excel, then use file import in Outlook. -- Regards Judy Gleeson MVP Outlook Trainer and Consultant www.pragmatix.com.au Outlook 2003 user?

Judy - I'm having a heck of a time with naming the range. I've been in Excel
help and on the Excel discussion group. two replies took me to documents that basically say the same thing as Excel help. I've taken the suggested steps a dozen times and two or three different ways. End result is still the error that the document has no named ranges and to use Excel to name the range of data I want to import. Any suggestions?

Well, that's what I did - several times. It seems so simple and I don't get
why it won't work. "Gordon" wrote: "Marilyn" wrote in message ... Judy - I'm having a heck of a time with naming the range.

To avoid the issue of "Named Range" - just save the worksheet as a CSV file
and import that instead. If you're going to do this on an on-going basis - one of our products may be of interest: http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm (will import directly into any contact folder - Exch Mailbox, PubFldrs or PST. You also have the option with DataPorter to "update" pre-existing contacts) Karl __________________________________________________ _ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer 1.3 / DataPorter 2.0 / Exporter "Power contact importers/exporters for MS Outlook '2000/2007" http://www.contactgenie.com "Marilyn" wrote in message ...
