Exporting Contacts with Custom Fields

[*** The Slaw ***]

I have created several custom fields that I use in the
contacts part of the DB. They are above and beyond Users
1-4.

These are contact (sales) management fields I've
created. I want to export this to be used by ACT! 6.

When I've tried to export my contacts, I couldn't find a
way to include the fields I've designed.

I have a lot of data that I'd like to move over to ACT!.

Anyone with a solution?

Thanks

STeve

I don't know what file formats Act! can import, but I do know that 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.
