After furious head scratching, michigan87 asked:

| Previously when I used my contacts in Outlook when I did a mail merge
| I was able to filter my contact by the user field 1 or user field 2.
| Now the user field does not come up as an option when I try to filter
| my contact. How can I correct this?
