MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2005"Nickname" not available when exporting Outlook data to Access
When exporting MS Outlook data to an MS Access file you can select the mapping of Outlook fields to corresponding Access fields using the "Map Custom Fields" option. However, the "Nickname" field is not available for mapping. For me, "Nickname" is far more useful than say, "Language" or "Mileage". Why isn't "Nickname" allowed as a mappable field? Good question. We have no idea why.

Paul, The Nickname field is populated from your autocomplete cache (NK2) file. We have a utility that can open and of course enable you to export the nickname data. It's called Owtlook. If you write me at www.dcs-imaging.com using sales as the name, I will send you a document about the NK2 file that we wrote. If you add /products.htm to our domain name it will link you to our utility demo download/sales page. Hope this helps, Randy > When exporting MS Outlook data to an MS Access file you can select the > mapping of Outlook fields to corresponding Access fields using the "Map > Custom Fields" option.

It has nothing to do with the NK2 file. It is populated by the user when he fills in the Contact Record. And for some reason it has been left out of Outlook's export routine.

I'm talking about the "Nickname" field found under the "Details" tab of an MS Outlook contact.. I often export my Outlook contacts to an MS Access database, and the "nickname" field would be very useful to me in many of the various reports that I have designed in Access. > Paul, > The Nickname field is populated from your autocomplete cache (NK2) file.
