import contacts
I created a csv file of my contacts from a win 7 pro pc with outlook 2007. I now have a new pc and I want to import these contacts into the new outlook account. When I do this I get this message: "A file error has occured in the file translator to build a field map. Outlook was unable to retreive the data file. What am I doing wrong? I also have tried an excel file import and export and it seems like it is working but no addresses ever show up in the address book.
