Importing Outlook 2k contacts into Exchange 5.5 GAL

[bobbymensah]

I have a list of contacts in Outlook 2k that I want to import to my Global Address List (GAL)in Exchange 5.5. I have exported my internal GAL to a .csv to get the right columns needed to do import to my GAL. I have also created a container and a new DL. ( I'm trying to create a distribution list that everyone in the company can use and update without my intervention.)In addition, I have exported all the contacts in my Outlook 2k to a .csv, then copied and pasted the columns needed to in-order to import them into GAL on the Exchange server without getting any errors. However, when I do an import it reports that all contacts have been imported successfully with no errors. However I see nothing in the GAL.

Questions????
1. Am I approaching this problem correctly?
2. If I am, why don't I see anything in my GAL?
3. If I am not, then what is the best solution my problem?

I am in desparate need of solutions to my problem and will appreciate any suggestions.

cheers
