I just got my computer back from having the OS (Windows 98SE) reinstalled. When I was reinstalling Microsoft Office, I think I might have chosen to use my personal address book because when I imported my backed up .csv contact file back into my Outlook Contacts folder, it didn't go into my Outlook address book as it had in the past. I want to use the Outlook Address Book. PLEASE...can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? Thanx! Meri

All you should have to do is go file import, other file, dos csv file, point to the file and then it will ask you which "folder" you want to place it in, tell it your contacts folder. Note you may have accidently created a second contacts folder To see if this is the case click on the button next to the forward button on the toolbar and browse your folders. Another thing you can do to make sure you are using the right type of Contacts folder is to the outlook bar, right click go to propertiesmake sure that under Outlook Address Book you have the "Show this Folder as an e-mail Address Book" checked.

Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, AddressBook. You will see the import for the Address Book under the file menu.

I am sorry. I didn't understand the question that day. I have done many import/export jobs in outlook 2002. If you still need help, you can send me the file and I'll tell you what needs to be done. What I would like to do is check the csv file, makesure you click browse to locate the file, remap the fields, and other things...

Thanx so much for trying, but I've found my answer. It involved adding something to the Registry and it actually worked beautifully! I do appreciate your efforts.
