I have been using Outlook 2003 for a number of years. I tried to import an
Excel file contacting contacts. After importing, I can’t open my contacts
folder. Outlooks locks up. I can still access email & calendar. Any ideas
on how to fix this problem?
 
Sorry to say there is no error message. The programs locks up and is shown
as "not responding" I have not tried to repair the file. I do not know how.
