Exporting contacts in a csv fileI am a mysterious problem exporting my contacts as csv file. The
resulting file has only 58 contacts out of almost 1200 contacts in my outlook. These contacts appear to be the last 58 contacts added. (I say appear because the attribute "createdon" is not exported so I can't be exact. Why is this? cinnamngrl <cinnamn***@gmail.com> wrote:

Are you storing your contacts in a PST or on an Exchange server? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

ANYTHING about the ones that don't import that looks different from the 59 that do? If you open one that doesn't export, how does the entry look compared to one that does?

Save that contact and see if it appears in an export. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]  |
