How can I export the "Nickname" field from Contacts to Excel?

[Robert Judge]

I want to export my Outlook 2003 Contacts to Excel, including the "Nickname"
field. However, when I try to "map fields," the "Nickname" field does not
appear as a field that I can choose to include.

How do I accomplish this?

It never has. A lot of the fields on the Details page don't match up very
well. Use a User Defined field to store a nickname.

There are a number of fields that you can not export (or import for that
matter) via Outlook's export wizard.

You will need a 3rd party utility or write your own code.

Two options available to you (among others):

#1 - This free utility will solve your problem especially if this is either
a
one-time or casual requirement (product not related to us - provided for

#2 - In the event you require more advanced features - you can review our
export product options (not free) here:
