IM Address wont' map

[aazar]

I am trying to import some contacts into Contacts folder of Outlook
2003 but the stupid field mapping is missing the IM address, any
ideas?

Import into User field then write a routine to move from User 1 to IM
address? Not a VB script writer if anyone can help with how to do it,
I will be grateful.

It is a well-known fact (repeated multiple times a day in this group)
that Import/Export should only be used in connection with non-Outlook
data (e.g. Excel or Outlook Express). Using Import the way you did will
practically guarantee that you'll lose some data.

Just open the files with Outlook, then drag and drop any data you want
to move or copy.

This is non-Outlook data. Why people use spreasheets for databases is
beyond me, anyhow it is an excel sheet, how do I open an excel sheet
to drag and drop it as you say?

Open an excel sheet with Outlook as you seem to suggest.
