The real question is how to do that.
The answer is finding the location of the MS outlook contact data, reading it in using ASP\SQL or having the user upload a file of some kind with the data in it, then writing it out (formatted as necessary) into a database using SQL.
The details of all that can probably get sticky depending on all kinds of specifics. So.....if you are familiar with ASP get started and try posting specific problems you have.
If you are not familiar with ASP start with some online tutorials on the basics and then get into reading\writing and working with files or data. -
Have you googled this? It sounds like the kind of thing that someone might have tried before so you may get lucky.
The problem you'll have is accessing the file system on the client machine. This is not possible using your server side (ASP) code and nor is it possible using javascript, which doesn't have any functions or objects which manipulate files.
Good luck finding a solution.
