I am having several problems editing my .csv file to import my outlook
contacts into gmail?

When I first created my .csv file, it had about 40 different columns
(the standard stuff and then other stuff like address2, phone 2 and
phone 3, assistant's name, birthday, anniversary, etc). I deleted all
the unnecessary stuff and only left first name, last name, email, phone
and address.

When I go to import my .csv file - I get the following "VERY ANNOYING
and VERY AMBIGUOUS" error message.

"There were problems with your CSV file, so no contacts were imported.
Learn more
Close"

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
What can I change???

Thanks,
goks
 
Have you checked with GMail about what the desired .csv format would be for
them?
