Sorry for the late reply, been away from base and just got back (absolutely knackered!).
Anyway, perhaps I could have been a little more informative the first time around, sorry.
I have had no problems just doing this now, I was even brave enough to delete my OE addressbook to prove it works!.
From Outlook 2000.
File/Import-Export/Export to file/CSV DOS.
Select your contacts folder to export.
Name the file (eg OutlookContacts) and NEXT will save the CSV file in My Documents as an Excel CSV file.
From OE5.
File/Import/Other address Book/Text CSV.
Browse to x
My Documents and select the OutlookContacts.CSV file.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! - Map (select) the fields you want to import!!
And that's all there is to it folks!
