Two part question.

How do I add the Created Date and Modified date to a contact form so it will
appear permanately for all existing and new contacts.

Secondly and more importantly, is there any way to export the Created and
Modified dates.

The dates are already recorded for a contact and appear under "All Fields"
tab Select From: "All Journal Fields"

I really need some way to export this information.

Thanks
Craig

If you want to modify the default Contact form (as opposed to created a form
based on the Contact form), see these links:

How to make a Microsoft Outlook custom form the default:
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

How to change the default form in Outlook 2002:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=295064

If you want to add controls for those fields on the form, show the Field
Choose dialog while in design mode and drag the Created and Modified fields
from the "All Contact Fields" category in the list.

Since the Created and Modified fields aren't exposed via the Import/Export
Wizard, you'll have to access the values of the CreationTime and
LastModificationTime ContactItem properties.

Can you provide some direction on accessing the ContactItem Properties.

The properties for Contacts, as well as any other Outlook item exposed via
the Outlook Object Model, are accessible in the VBA Editor. As long as you
have an object variable declared to a specific Outlook Item object (e.g. Dim
objContact As Outlook.ContactItem), the Intellisense feature will list all of
the available properties as soon as you type a period after the variable name.

You can also view properties for objects by using the Object Browser.

For some great resources for starting out with Outlook development, see this
