Import Contacts from a CSV file

D

We have a database of contacts that is currently maintained in a FoxPro
Database. The contacts can be periodically exported to a csv file. We would
like to have these contacts available in Outlook in a folder under My
Contacts. I would like a macro a user could run to update the contacts in
the folder using info from the CSV file.
I'm guessing a routine that would empty the existing contacts from the
folder and then reimport from the csv file might be the easiest approch - but
since it's been years since I have done any VB programming I'm at a loss
really where to start.

Thanks,

David

Have you tried the import tools from File -> Import and Export...? The
wizard can import contacts from a .csv. However, if you wish to map any
columns in that .csv to a custom property, you would need to use code.
