When I attempt to import a contact list into outlook I get the following
error message: An error occured in the Microsoft Excel Translator while
getting the contents of a file system and then it say that the Microsoft
Excel File has no names ranges
 
In your Excel sheet, go to Insert\Names\Define. Set the area you're
importing and define this range. This will allow outlook to know what to
look for.

Hope this helps,
Chad
 
Hi Chad,
i am getting the same error message. When I insert\names\define how exactly
do I define it?
 
When defining a new range, you must click 'add' in the define name prompt
box. Type a name for the range, such as "contacts" or something. Define the
range by clicking in the 'refers to' box and selecting the appropriate range.
Click 'ok' when finished. To see if your range was properly defined, go
back to insert\names\define and see if the name shows up in the list. If so,
your range define was successful. Then, you should be able to properly
import the data into outlook.
