Hi, i have tried using the import functionality, but does not seem to be
working. The activity seems to be in the 'Pending' state all the time. At the
same, it does not throw any errors either. I tried import of 'leads' with
just three records; each having 3 coulmns...including 'LastName' which is a
mandatory field for the Lead entity.
Any suggestions on this ? Has anybody been able to successfully import any
kind of records into MSCRM 3.0 so far?

I am having the exact same problem. We just installed 3.0 last week. I think
this may be a change to a two-step process. Still trying to do some
research.

Thanks for the info John - I had the same problem. Switched from a domain
account to a localsystem and it worked like a charm! Greatly appreciated!

Yes I have been trying to import records and although I dont get the pending issue I think there are other issues in regards to data imports. If you import data via the "account" name and then include a "contact" mapped to the "primary Contact" field the import works but no data is entered into the primary contact field. So in our case we have 10,000 account names with no associated contacts!!! no very good for our sales force.......

Do you have any idea why when importing records you cannot assign the "primary contact" this is holding up our CRM 3.0 roll out so any help much appreciated.
