add custom fields
i want to import data from Excel into Outlook. In Outlook I have created
"user specified fields" which we use in the contact card (in the "all fields" tab). I manage to get to the section "map custom fields" but the "TO" area only holds the standard contact fields. I dont get to see the "add custom fields" button/option so I can add my custom field to the "TO" fields. Does any on have an idea; i am using office 2003 for both Excel & Outlook. Tnax for any advice, Jan Dirk

add custom fields
Outlook does not support importing to custom fields. You would need to write
your own import code or use a third-party tool.
