Steve,

>Do you have the latest service pack for Office? On MS web site there is reference to problems import DBF files with date fields into Outlook 2000 (I know you are using Access).

Probably no.

>Before going to the trouble of downloading the SP (assuming you don't have it already), see if you have any date fields in the table you are importing. If so, as a test, remove those date fields, and try again.

Good try! thanks for that, but, no...I did have a date field, but just removed it and tried all character fields w/same results. ;-(

I started another thread, asking someone w/Access 2000 to give it a shot...just to see if it's my installation....
