Exporting User-Defined Form Fields

[Guest]

I have tried everything I can think of to get the user-defined fields in a published form that is associated to a folder to export with the information in the emails. No luck. None of the exporting even allows you to map user defined fields, they just give you the default fields for a mail item

Environment: Outlook folder storing custom forms with information in user defined fields and the form associated to that folder that needs to be placed into excel or access to analyze information in the fields (like date started and date ended and "cause"

Any ideas on a non-manual way to get that information out?

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.
