user-defined field not listed

I created a user defined field which is a Yes/No Icon so I can tick off when
flights listed in my Calendar were shown on my frequent flyer statement as
well as "FF Progam" as text so I can sort by the 3 airline programs I belong
to. Worked great.
I have since bought a new PC and transfered Outlook 2003. All fine so far.
Lost some of my Calendar views (Outlook is not great at moving!) and am
currently recreating them.
Added the user defined field "FF Progam" as text and lo and behold the field
is showing the old data from the previous machine... but only by luck as the
field was NOT SHOWING on the User-Defined Fields in Folder using Field
Chooser.
There are other user-defined fields with data from the old machine hiding in
Outlook somewhere... but I can't remember the field names... how to get a
list of user-defined fields that are NOT shown on the list?
Last - should warn you I am not a VB expert in Outlook. Simple macro's or
reading other peoples in Excel is my limit :)

Update from myself... !!
Got a work around...
1. Loaded the Outllook.pst from the old PC to the new PC
2. Renamed as Outlook1.pst
3. Opened my new Outlook
4. Opened Outllook1
5. Switched to Calendar View Outlook1
6. Found the Calendar View called Travel
The 'hidden' field was showing and I noted the user-defined field name
7. Switched Calendar View to Outlook
8. Created a user defined field of the same name ("?Statement") and added it
to the view.
All the 'old' data was there....

Is there a better way.......?
