I'm trying to export my address-book (contacts) from
Outlook 2000. (The destination is Netscape Email client,
which can deal with various file-formats, such as .CSV, etc.)
The problem I'm having is that when I choose 'export to csv'
and run thru that series of dialog boxes, the resulting file
is much too small and contains no actual
record VALUES (e.g. no familiar names and email addresses).
Instead, the resulting .CSV file looks like it contains ONLY
a series of column-heading 'mappings' of field names, such as:
"Title First Name Middle Name Last Name "
The resulting file (I've tried both DOS and Windows variant of CSV
and also tried a TSV), but I always get about 1300 bytes of generic
column-heading data, but never and actual data from my address-book.
Yet, when I click on 'Contacts' in Outlook, I see that I have about 160
entries, so if each entry had only 20 chars of data, the file
should contain at least 3200 bytes at an absolute minimum.
So, either I totally misunderstand what 'export' is supposed to do
or else something is broken. Ideas?
Cheers...
