Damian,

Thankyou for your help. I have successfully imported contacts into the
Active Directory using CSVDE and they show in the GAL.

My next question is how to import contacts specific to the user. For
example when the user logs on to OWA and clicks the Contacts tab you would
find them there. And as an aside where are these contacts stored? I
created a couple of contacts manually but couldn't then find where this
information is stored. I did a search for a PST file but found none.

Lardy.
