User defined fields Outlook 2003 & 2007

I need to import a .csv contact list into a contact folder where I have
CREATED NEW USER DEFINED FILDS such as, Special needs, Health Factors, etc..

How can I make these fields visible so I can map custom fields into them?
Does this work the same in Outlook 03 and 07?

Thanks

You cannot import user defined fields using the Outlook Import wizard in
any version of Outlook whether the UDF's are simply added to the folder or
as part of a custom form.

You may find the solutions provided here of interest:

write your own code.

As a follow-up question, does anyone know how to input more than one value
into an user-defined field? For example, my user-define field is called
"Industry" and under that I want to have three possible values, "Retail,"
"Chemicals," and "Tech."

Is there any way that I can type in values so that this contact has both the
Retail and the Tech values? Right now if I type in "Retail, Tech" it shows
up as "Retail, Tech" instead of "Retail" and "Tech."

Unless I misunderstand your question, your UDF field type should be set to
"keywords" - not "Text" as I suspect it is.
