Just a guess, but probably Entourage is not recognizing the tab/comma-delimited files as text files. I would try opening those files with TextEdit, use Format->Make Plain Text (if it shows in the menu; if not, it will say "Make rich text," which you don't want), and using Save As to save the file with a .txt extension. Then, try opening the result in Entourage.
As for trying to import it as a mbx file, of course it didn't work; it isn't in mbx format. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> > From: SVEN AERTS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2002 13:46:22 +0200 > To: EntX-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Why doesn't Import tab-koma delimeted email adress list work? > > I want to import emailaddresses I gathered from relevant YahooGroups to our > organisation. > I copy pasted them in an Excell sheet, now want to import them in EntX > Contacts. > in Excell, I do a save as tab delimited text file.
