I'm having a problem with importing of a Lotus Notes(4.6) personal address book into Outlook 2000. Are there any simple utilities available to perform this or are there any possible formats which Lotus can export to that Outlook will understand???
Appreciate any help...

If you can export it to a csv, either DOS or Windows, you will be able to map where the information goes into Outlook.

The follwing is a link explaining how to import/export info into outlook

Outlook has its own import/export program under the file menu. File -> Import/Export. Choose import from another file, and then the file type. It does have some Lotus Organization imports, but not Notes? (I don't know if they are simular or not)

Try this link. It is for Lotus cc.Mail

Let me know if this works.

Links don't work,

Find article Q243476 on the MS Knowledge site for the first aritcle, and Q196743 for the second aritcle.

no...this didn't do the trick. notes and outlook don't seem to have the available formats to work together. the search continues...

I have done this in a rather kludgy way. It's not pretty, but it does work. If you have a Palm Pilot, you can sync it with Notes, then do a sync with Outlook. It's a pain, but it will work. Another way is using Act! contact manager. It will import and export to Notes and Outlook. The process is the same, Pull it from Notes to Act!, then send it to Outlook.
Hope that helps.
