MORE INFORMATION

This error message indicates that there are fields in the imported .csv file that do not match the internal fields that Outlook 2001 for Mac uses. The error message appears once for every field as they are encountered. If you click Skip this Field, it allows the import process to proceed and ignores any date in that field.

NOTE: The following fields exist for compatibility with Japanese naming conventions:

  First Name Yomi
  Last Name Yomi
  Company Yomi
				

For example, if your .csv file has name fields designated as First, Middle and Last, you would rename them to First Name, Middle Name and Last Name in order to manually map the fields to match the Outlook 2001 for Mac internal fields.

Once you have edited your data to map the fields, resave the data, retaining the CSV format, and import the data into Outlook 2001 for Mac.
