I have also tried do Copy my current "Contacts" folder in the folders list to a new one called "myfile" and deleted its content.

How do I populate it with the addresses in myfile.txt?
Thanks for helping.

Can't you just go... (I'm using 2003 with Business Contact Manager)
1) File menu, Import and Export, Outlook
2) Import from another program or file (next).
3) Tab Separated Values (Windows)
4) Navigate to the file
5) Select destination folder - choose Contacts
6) and so on.

Note: In my mind it would be easier to use Excel than a tab delimited file. I would migrate the txt file into Excel first. It's easier mapping.

Also, if you get errors then create an Excel template file from Outlook by using the "Export" function (similar to the "Import" function above).

Good luck.

Andrew
