Default Exporting User defined Contact Field

I've played around in this area a few times now...

This is what I have found about exporting your .pst:

Microsoft does include your custom fields on export.
Microsoft does include your custom fields on import.
Microsoft doesnt iterate the newly imported pst completely so outlook wont
display the imported custom fields and their data.

Workaround:
After you import the exported pst, re-make the field names using the EXACT
field names. As soon as your done making the field, it will automatically
re-populate the data.

go ahead try it 8)

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
