Default range of data

In your Excdel workbook select the range of names/addresses/phones and
InsertNameDefine

Give the range a name like MyList

Save and close the workbook.

Open Outlook and run through your import.

Gord: Thanks. Help me more. Do I "select' by simply highlighting the cell
area? When I go to "insert" on the tool bar/ribbon, I do not see
namedefine??

That's what I get for not reading posts thoroughly<g

I don't use 2007 but Ron de Bruin has a "where to find" for 2007.

Looks like InsertName is located on the Insert menu on the Worksheet Menu Bar

Insert**FormulasDefined Names**
