Exporting Date Modified Field

K

Kathy Webster

I'm trying to export Outlook 2003 Contacts to a .csv file. I want to include
the MODIFIED field, which is a data field automatically stamped by Outlook.
(It shows up on the FREQUENTLY USED FIELDS tab when displaying ALL FIELDS on
a contact.)
It doesn't come up as one of the mapped field choices when the wizard asks
you to map fields to export.

Anyone know how to export this field?
If not, anyone know how to filter an export to include only those contacts
whose MODIFIED field falls within a certain date range?

TIA,
Kathy

Right now you can use our preview edition of ContactGenie Exporter to
accomplish what you need (no cost). The released version (in about 7-10 days
or less) will also have full selection capabilities.

to answer the second part of the question - create a custom view and on the
advanced tab of the filter dialog you'll use the modified field between
[dates]

Thank you, Diane. Thanks to you, now I can create a View of the fields and
records that I want. How can I now create an export with the records/fields
in that view?

Any fields that aren't in the field mapper can't be added. So in those cases
the only way to import/export is to write your own import/export code. There
are code samples at www.outlookcode.com for that but of course they would
have to be modified to deal with your fields unless by chance the code
samples actually covered every field you want.

What are you doing with the export? You can always copy the records in the
view and paste into any application that accepts paste.
