copying fields created at item level to folder level

[guy benton]

I am using Outlook 2000. Can anyone explain to me how to
copy user defined fields created at the item level to the
folder level? and also if by doing this it will allow me
to export user defined fields.

Many Thanks

You can create them manually with the folder's Field Chooser or use the code
from my article at
http://www.exchangeadmin.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=23483

However, 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.

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application.
