Default Outlook 2010 beta

Hi. I have exported my addressbook in CSV format and imported it in to every
office version so far except 2010. Why does it have the Import facility if it
doesn't Import? An internet search about INVALID SAM ID just says to do the
same as I have already stated putting me in a loop! Are you saying that i
have to create a folder called Contacts before it will allow the import? If
thats the case why has it changed after all these versions and years to be so
damned awkward, sometimes if it's not broken don't fix it - leave it alone!
Do I now have to transfer each individual contact seperately to each field?

Since Outlook does not even have an address book, one must wonder what you
are trying to do and how.
Why would you change the format of your Outlook data?
Why not use a valid method for data transfer?

Hi. When using Import to install CSV addressbook from previous office
versions error message INVALID SAM ID appears. Internet search brings no
answer. Microsoft Office, 2010, Technet all the sites have no answer. How
do
I import my addressbook in to Outlook 2010 beta? Thanks.
