Is there a way to automate field removal?

S

We are migrating from Notes to Exchange and using the tool provided by
Lotus to export the personal address book into the Contacts in Outlook.
Everything comes over fine, but two fields. It automatically inserts
a "0" in the Suffix and Title section of all contacts. Is there a way
to macro, script, etc...the automatic removal of the Title and Suffix
field on a contact. Or have it remove the data it "thinks" is in that
field?

Hope that makes sense.

You certainly could write a macro to perform such cleanup after the import. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/convertfields.htm for a basic script that shows how to loop through all the items in a folder and demonstrates basic Outlook property syntax.
