OLEXP: CSV Importer Imports Only Files with a Valid Extension (168760)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook Express 4.0 for Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Outlook Express 4.0 for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q168760 SYMPTOMS
The Comma Separated Value (CSV) importer in Outlook Express imports only
files with a valid 3-character extension.
CAUSE
The Next button in the wizard is not enabled until you type an extension
(such as ".xxx"). The wizard does not recognize a file with no extension.
RESOLUTION
Type the extension (a period followed by three characters) of the file
that contains your data. If the file name does not have an extension,
rename the file and add an extension.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Outlook Express. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
