Outlook -> Lotus Notes
Roberto Cormenzana
I'm in a enterprise, in Pamplona (Spain), and we have just changed from
Outlook to Lotus Notes. The problem is that we have a enormous list of
contacts (adresses) "made in Outlook", and we have to pass this information
to Lotus Notes. We tried two things:
- Export and import. It (obviously in these times) didn't work.
- Export from Outlook to a text file, modify slighly this file and try to
import the result to Lotus Notes. Notes asked us for a form or so, and we
selected the one of the contacts. It didn't work (of course).
I have to say that we export to a text file a contacts list example for both
distributions, and the results that each one stracted was very -very-
different.
Does anyone knows a (relatively) simple solution? May be passing from
Outlook to Excel, and from Excel to Lotus 1-2-3, and from Lotus 1-2-3 to
Outlook? Well I recognize we don't have Lotus 1-2-3 (snif, snif).
Thanks a lot. Nice to meet you

Lotus has a migration tool for people moving from Outlook Express to Notes.
I think it does exactly what you want.
I don't remember exactly where it is on their site, but I saw it a few weeks
ago.
Go to the Lotus site and search using "migration".

site:
" User Migration Tool The Schedule Plus 1.0/7.0 to Notes User Migration Tool
is part of CS2Notes.nsf, the Client Schedule 2 Notes Migration Tool, which
is now offered in version 2.37."
This starts the proces but falters and produces an error message which says:
"Cannot create automation object"
I am trying to do this when I am not connected to my Notes server. I am
travelling in Europe and for a number of other reasons have to dial in
direct to the server at international rates. Do I need to be connected to
the server or is this some other problem?

I'm playing with Notes since R4.1, and now with R5. A can't remember
exactly, but during instalation of R5 there was a question about OutLook
migration. You should try it. Importing/Exporting - yeah this works, but you
have to know Notes philosophy. Suggestion: try export to Excel, then open it
in Excel, and save as *.wk4 (a 1-2-3 file), this notes can open, but you
have to map collumns into proper fields. In the R4.xx there was an option to
create an external file with description of the format, I haven't tried with
R5 yet. But, Notes, if properly installed should open *.xls files...
