I need to get all of my Sidekick 99 Contacts into Outlook or Palm Desktop in order to sync with my Treo 600 win winxp. Whenever I try to export the contacts to a file, such as csv or txt, which both programs can read, sidekick crashes after 6kb. I have 3000 contacts.

Trying to use a dbf results in outlook not being able to map all of the fields correctly and it gets all screwed up. I cant reinstall since i dont have the original software. Any suggestions?
 
Dear Marcman713,
The quantity is not excessive, I have regularly exported 9000 records of 32 fields.
The problem may be that you are using invalid field names.
Do any of your fields names include the following symbols or similar ones:
#@& ?
