Exporting and custom fields

[Guest]

I am exporting my cust contacts into a csv file and when I come to selecting
the custom fields to include I cannot select the IM address field. We are
using the IM address field as the contact owner - yes we have custom forms
where we have a contact owner field but cannot use this form for info - long
story!. However, I need to include the IM field when exporting so how can I
include this?. It is not even listed in the custom fields box on the left
hand side so whats happening there.

Any help/advice would be very mucg appreciated.

regards

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.

The alternatives are to write your own custom VBA code or to use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
