User defined fields Outlook 2003 & 2007

[Baha]

I need to import a .csv contact list into a contact folder where I have
CREATED NEW USER DEFINED FILDS such as, Special needs, Health Factors, etc..

How can I make these fields visible so I can map custom fields into them?
Does this work the same in Outlook 03 and 07?

Thanks

You cannot import user defined fields using the Outlook Import wizard in
<any> version of Outlook whether the UDF's are simply added to the folder or
as part of a custom form.

You may find the solutions provided here of interest:

write your own code.

As a follow-up question, does anyone know how to input more than one value
into an user-defined field? For example, my user-define field is called
"Industry" and under that I want to have three possible values, "Retail,"
"Chemicals," and "Tech."

Is there any way that I can type in values so that this contact has both the
Retail and the Tech values? Right now if I type in "Retail, Tech" it shows
up as "Retail, Tech" instead of "Retail" and "Tech."

Unless I misunderstand your question, your UDF field type should be set to
"keywords" - not "Text" as I suspect it is.
