Thank you Russ. Your response led me to take a closer
look. I guess the upgrade from Express (or maybe a
previous import) defaulted the email addresses with some
text "Email address does not exist" in the email address
field. So, I went through and removed this text (blanked
out the email address field) and the names no longer
appear. Problem solved! Thanks again.
