import email - missing comma separated file translator?

[Schweigenthaler]

The import option for addresses is greyed out in Outlook
2000. Attempting to import it from the main Outlook window
to the contacts folder creates the error message: A file
error has occurred in comma separated values/Exel
(Windows) translator. >>> variations of the theme on any
program from which I try to import. OBDC should be in,
since necessary for other programs. No other programs
running when the error occurs.

Is there any knowledge of a corrupted or missing DLL or
other required file which could cause this? Thank you.

Do you have the translators installed? Run Add/Remove and elect to update
your installation and add them from under the Office Tools section.
