Hi Bob, thanks for the fast reply. I imported the Excel file to Outlook, which include the e-mail address in the RequiredAttendees field or column. Everything but that data imported correctly.

My assumption is that when that field is populated in the Excel spreadsheet it would also populate the cooresponding field in the Outlook meeting or appt - thus, the recipient would also get the appt notice.

I am not sure how to attached a sample file, but the RequiredAttendees filed does have a valid e-mail address in it.

Sorry for my earlier reply; you did say you were importing it back into Outlook after the mod, not into Excel, but I didn't notice.

But then, if the email address is getting into the CSV correctly, and then not making it into Outlook, it sounds like Excel is acting as you intended and this is a question that should be addressed to the Outlook forum instead.

I haven't seen the CSV yet, but here's a thought: When you export the appointment from Outlook to the CSV, before you change anything, are email addresses appearing in any special format? In quotes, perhaps? If you've triple-checked and you're sure the new email addresses are in the right column(s), then maybe it has to do with something like quote marks.

Hi Bob, I am agreeing that this is likelk an Outlook issue and will take it to the Outlook forum...

FYI, I should have mentioned previously, that I am at work and we are on an Exchange server-that may have something to do with it.

Anyway, I have tried the e-mail address in the traditional, name@domain.com form as well as the lastname, firstname form used here at work. And I have confirmed the use, or in this case the non-use of quotes.

I attached the test file.

Thanks

Dave
