Thx Karl. However, i gave some misleading info. I actually did import to the To: address as well as CC: address and BCC: address. None of this worked...also "values" is the name given to the right pane of the mapping custom fields popup. That is why I used this term. I know I am being stupid here...because if others can do this...certainly it is user brain failure. Pls review my process again and let me know if you see anything wrong based on my reply. Thanks
