When I do export to a file, Comma Separated values and Contacts. The
email addresses appeare in the Excel table in form of
"[email protected] SMTP [email protected]" Why does this
"SMTP [email protected]" come along as it is not needed?

Three fields are being exported: the address, the address type, and the
display name. When you export, you have the option to choose exactly what
fields get exported. Export just what you need.

Thanks Brian
I have Outlook 2000. I do not seam to find a place to restrict the data when
exporting .
I only have the "Export", "Comma Separated values (Windows)", "File to be
exported"?

Right. After choosing that export type, don't you get a window allowing you
to choose the folder and then map the fields?

Yes Brian I get the tree where I can select, In, Out, Contacts etc. I select
Contacts and next I am asked to select the file to save it. No window to
make any fine adjustment.

Perhaps it's a matter of a difference in Outlook versions, then, because
right after that window, I get a window with a "Map Custom Fields" button on
it where I can choose the fields I wish to export.

Be that as it may, after you export, you can edit the file in Excel and
remove the columns you don't want. You should then be able to import and it
will map only the fields you have.
