Default Contacts appear as message

I exported some contacts from Access database but they appear as messages
instead of contacts in the contacts folder.

In what format did you export them from Access and how did you import them
into Outlook? What version of each app?

Default Contacts appear as message

I am using Office 2003.
Actually I linked the 'contacts' folder from my outlook data file (.pst).
It appeared in Access as linked table named 'Contacts'.
I used Append query to add contact information from another table.
The append was successful but while looking in Outlook, contacts apeear as
messages instead of contacts.

That doesn't surprise me. I'd never access a PST with any program other
than Outlook.
