exporting user-defined fields in folder to Excel or Access

[Jacqueline]

I have some user-defined fields in my Contact folder under Public Folders.
How can I export (some of) these 'user-defined fields in folder' to another
application, i.e. Excel or Access or include them in a link to Access?
(These fields do not show using the Import/Export Wizard)

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields directly. 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.

If some of the fields are multi-line, see Eric Legault's handy tip for an
Excel formula to break up the lines --

The alternatives are to write your own custom VBA code or to use a
third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=23
