OL98: Full Name Field Ignored in Imported File (185149)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q185149 SYMPTOMS
When you import a file containing Contact data using the standard Microsoft
internal names, the contents of the Full Name field may be ignored.
CAUSE
The Full Name field is a reserved field. Outlook uses the entries in the
Check Full Name dialog box to build the Full Name data.
RESOLUTION
To allow Outlook to generate a Full Name field, follow these steps:
- In the file to be imported assure that the fields, Title, First Name,
Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix contain data where appropriate. It is
not necessary to enter data in all of these fields.
- Import the file using the Outlook Import and Export Wizard. Outlook will
use the entries to build a Full Name field.
