Sorry for jumping in to an ongoing thread, but I need some help in this area
too!
My client has about 2000 contacts, with somewhere near half of them in a
distribution list. He needs to export this list from Outlook to Excel. I
think the instructions below are what he needs to do - but I have some
questions.
1. What do you mean by putting the items from your form into one folder?
2. How do I use a table view?
Clearly, I am not an Outlook user! 8)
Would this process work for distribution lists?

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.
