i have yet to transfer my contacts from my old computer. i have an odd issue

My problem is that when importing into outlook. I select the file to import

and the map custom fields button are greyed out.
I have spent many hours now trying to find a solution and followed lots of
advise, so far I have tried importing from access, excel, csv and have the
same problem with them all.
I updated my installation so everything is loaded correctlt, I ran the

I do not have a box to tick in the import system which a lot of forums
mention. 2002 obviously does not have this or its extremely well hidden.

Random asterisks
Hello,
I'm using an Exchange 2003 server with Outlook 2002 on Windows XP Pro clients.
On one of the clients, when the user adds data into a new or existing
Contact such as the tel #, repeating random asterisks appear in the field.
Once it happens, we are not able to click into that field to delete them.
This has happened a few times and before I try switching out the keyboard
and/or running an Office Detect & Repair, I wanted to see if this is a known
issue with a resolution. Thanks.... Tag: formatting text Tag: 124147

Change Outlook 2007 contact reminder default time from 4:00pm
When I set a follow-up reminder for a contact in Outlook 2007, the default

I know if I change my working day from 8:00am-5:00pm to 8:00am-9:00am it
will move the default reminder time to 8:00am as the default reminder time is
set to one hour before the end of your working day which is useless as most

Deleting contacts
Hi,
I was having a clean out and thought I was deleting contacts when in
fact I was just deleting them from my address book, which I now
realise is an entirely separate thing. Is there a way I can quickly
delete the contacts I want to get rid of without going through the
process manually again? It would be handy to add a category to all my
remaining contacts in the address book at once and then delete any
contact not categorized, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

conversion error import contacts from csv
Hi,
I made a program to generate a .csv file, to be imported with the menu (File
- Import/export etc) into outlook 2003.
A month ago it worked, but now there results a conversion error, after
selecting the import file, and selecting the destination (Contacts), just
before the screen with the field assignments should appear (now it doesnot).
When I create a new file manually, and copy the content, the import works
well.
The strange thing is that the import worked well, a month ago.
What could have changed?
The red cross error says (translated from dutch, so do not take it
literally): "there has been a file error in the By listseparatorsigns
separator values (windows)-conversionprogram while initialising a conversion
program for building a field assignment.
The data of file xxxxx could not be read. Check whether you chose the right
file, or have the right authorisation to open or whether it has not been

sometimes it shows the Journal entry the 5th time I click on Activities. If
I reopen the Contact after I was able to view the Journal I may or may not be
