I'm running Outlook 2003 (11.6359.6360 SP1). I have successfully exported my
Contact data to Excel format using the default mapping several times in the
past few days. I thought I'd get clever and map my own fields and in doing
so, I received the error:
{An ODBC error has occurred in the Microsoft Excel translator while sending
field map information to translator.
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Too many fields defined}
So I went back in and cleared my custom mapping and restored the default.
Same error! I closed Outlook and restarted it and attempted to export my
Contacts to Excel and received the same error. So, I rebooted and still
receive the same error. HELP! How could this have worked and now stopped?
 
I deleted the file [as oppossed to telling the Outlook Export function ot
voerwrite it] and it now works.
