Exporting Contacts and custom fields to excel

[gregcool]

I am having trouble building an excel spreadsheet that
will capture the custom fields I have made for my contact
list. Anyone know how to do this?

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. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/customimport.htm.

If you're interested, you're welcome to try an early beta copy of our new
new version. It doesn't have an "export facility" as such, but it does
create an optional output XML file of records selected to be imported (in
this case the Outlook would be your data source) which can then be imported
into Excel (2002/2003). You can select whatever fields you like including
any on a custom form.

Just contact me directly and you will provided with the appropriate
information if you want to pursue this.
