Is it possible to add my newly created user-defined fields to the map which
is used for importing CSV files into contacts? The new fields don't
automatically show up as choices in the re-mapping box during imports.

Outlook does not support importing custom fields without doing some programming.  You may want to have a look at http://www.outlookcode.com or the Outlook programming group - microsoft.public.outlook.programming_vba

Thank you Milly.
I was referring to the user fields which I created in Outlook with a view to
using them to mirror the custom fields in the source CSV file which in turn
came from Quickbooks custom fields.
I've now got a clearer picture of the options for user defined fields in
Outlook 2007 plus have started configuring BCM user fields.
Am I right in thinking that there are fundamental differences between the
two ?
