add custom fields

[Jan Dirk]

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

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

If you don't want to write your own code then you may also find our our

(a signature feature of all CG products specifically is custom
form/user-defined field support)
