outlook 2003 not showing custom fields for mapping fields on impor

[Skie_Inc]

I have created a new form in Outlook 2003 with about 15 new fields. I used
the standard Contacts form and just added a new tab. I am trying to import
data into those new fields and create a new record but the import Wizard does
not bring up the new fields to map the data to.
I made sure I checked the fields by right clicking on the field and checking
the properites. I made sure to give a name to the field and choose a type of
data to be entered. eg. MLS Number, Text.
I also made sure to make the new form the default form to use when creating
a new contact.
When I open the form, not in design mode, I can see the fields under the tab
All Fields, User defined Fields. So they are there but they just don't come
up in the import wizard so I can not map to them. I tried .csv files with the
DOS option, and Windows option, and Excell files, in the import wizard.

Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form or to custom fields.
You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See
