Our radio club is attempting to do a newsletter mailout via email ... we have all the email addresses in Excel but I'm having a problem Importing and exporting Groups from the address book ... if I go to the address book file both the import and export options are greyed out ... so I went to the outlook file import/export option ... this allows exporting contacts to a csv file however it doesn't export the groups only the main contacts ... in the reverse it doesn't appear to import csv files either ...

Does anyone have a simple solution on how to import a 'group' from either an excel or access list? Could this be done via the DAO Office interface? All I need are the name and Email(1) fields populated

We need to get this out before Sunday and manually entering 60+ email addresses into Outlook and or express can be done but not a welcome thought. XP Pro with OLX 6 and OL 2k

 
Hi BJ,

I'm having the same problem. Outlook Express exports ONLY the MAIN contacts, not any of the Groups. I want to export ALL contacts, including groups. Did you find a solution?

Cheers,

No nobody here came up with a solution ... this is not a trival process as we have up to 100 addresses that are being maintained and this problem just creates double the work to have to maintain two member lists.
