I'm trying to export custom fields from my Outlook
contact folder into an Excel document, but when I get to
the final step of the exporting process (under "map
custom fields"), Outlook doesn't recognize the custom
field I've created. Can you help? Thanks.
 
Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields. 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.

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application.
See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm .
 
Same thing. Outlook doesn't import to custom fields.
