You cannot export an Outlook contact that does not have an e-Mail address to your SharePoint Web site contact list
When you click
Import Contacts on the
Contacts page of your SharePoint Web site to import a Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 contact from your address book to your contacts list, only Outlook contacts that have e-mail addresses appear on the list. You cannot import Outlook contacts that do not have e-mail addresses.
This behavior occurs because you can only import Outlook contacts that have e-mail addresses to a SharePoint contact list. When you click
Import Contacts, you can import contact information from your Outlook address book to a SharePoint contacts list. Because only those Outlook contacts that have e-mail address appear in the address book, only contacts with e-mail addresses can be imported to the SharePoint contacts list.
To work around this behavior, add a "false" e-mail address to the Outlook contacts that do not have e-mail addresses, and then import the Outlook contacts to your SharePoint contacts list.
This behavior is by design.
You can use a SharePoint contacts list to communicate with the people with whom your team works with. For example, you can enter names and contact information (such as telephone number, e-mail address, and street address) so that everyone on your team can use this information. You can copy contact information from your address book to a contacts list (requires a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible address book, such as Outlook 2003, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later), and you can copy or link contacts from a contacts list to your address book.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
