As Sue stated - neither importing/exporting of custom fields is support nor
are these accessible via the Access link.

Other alternative options to Sue's suggestion:

#1 - Use this free program (not related to us):
http://www.codetwo.com/pages/freewar...ook_export.php

Or

you are always welcome to check our exporter products (not free) in case the
additional options/features are of interest - one of which would be to
schedule any export via the task scheduler to a new .mdb which could then be
used as a linked table or alternatively into your Access MDB directly
creating a new table on each export or updating an existing table (update
feature only available in CG Exporter Premium version).

Hi Sue:

I've been reading your string on how to export out user defined fields,
because I need these fields in Access for reporting purposes. When I use
a
table view to display the fields, they are not in there. Why is it so
hard
to get these fields exported out? This should be easy and it's not. Can
you
help me?

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields. Quick and dirty method:

1. Put all the items from your form in one folder.
2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to
export to Excel.
3. Choose Edit | Select All.
4. Choose Edit | Copy.
5. Paste to Excel.

You can't change the fields available for export. However, if you use
Access to set up a linked table connected to your mail folder, you will
see the Received date among the available properties. Third-party export
tools are also available; see
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm#tools

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party
application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm .

I created a user defined field under the Customize current field -
fields -
new field in Outlook Contacts. The new field is a Yes / No type. When
I try
to export the contacts to either MS Excel or MS Access that field is
not
available for export. Is there anyway to export ALL Contact fields --
including user created fields. I also tried to change the existing
USER
FIELD 1 field to a YES/NO type, however Outlook does not provide that
abiltiy
either. I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2

HELP Thanks
