Wondering if anybody can help me this....

I'm trying to set up an automatic import process to a
specific contact folder from an excel spreadsheet. I've
found that in most cases it's pretty simple to import the
proper fields if you match the field names exactly in the
spreadsheet to the contact field. (eg using E-Mail
translates to E-Mail, Name translates to Name, ect). The
problem I run into though is that even though I title one
of the spreadsheet fields Business Address Street it does
not translate to the same field in the contact. In fact,
it does not get imported at all. I have to get the
automated mapping to work for the whole process to be
automated. I can't use the manual mapping of fields that
Outlook allows you to do because I won't be able to
automate that. Any ideas?

Alternative to that, does anybody know of where I'd find
info to possible create my own import scheme via a macro?

Thanks.
 
You may want to take a look at the product options on our website which do
exactly what you're looking for. For very high-volume imports (30,000-40000
and up) - then the upcoming CGD 2.1 version will likely be the most suitable
since it will have a completely updated import engine to accomodate the
volumes along with a host of new features/options.
