Export a user defined field

I understand that you cannot use the Outlook export wizard to export a user
defined field to an external database. I read here that you can create a
table with the user defined field in it, and cut and paste that table into
Excel. This sounds like it would work for me, so I tried it. For some
unknown reason, however, when I view my table in Outlook, the data from the
user defined field doesn't show up. The heading with the user defined field
name shows up at the top of the table, but there is no data under the
heading. Any thoughts about how to deal with this?
 
What type of field?

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields. Quick and dirty method:

The alternative is to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm .
