How do I import a csv file into outlook using custom designed cont

[troubleintecheaven]

I am using Outlook 2003 and I have already created a custom contact form
which I will be using with all my contacts. I have already published it and
selected it in Contact Properties box beside the line which reads, "When
posting to this folder, use:". I can enter a single contact and it will use
the correct form, however, since there are a few thousand of them, I would
like to import them directly from a csv file which has headings to match my
form. When I try to import, the "Map Custom Fields" button will only allow
me to map to the former contact form. Please let me know how to import using
my created form. Thanks.

The Outlook import (and export) wizard does not support user-defined fields
or usage of custom forms when importing. You'll need to either write your
own code or use a 3rd party solution.

You may find ContactGenie QuickPort (import & export) of interest which not
only supports custom forms/fields but also allows you to <update>
pre-existing contacts -
