MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008How do i add fields to the map custom field in Outlook for import
I am importing data with some custom fields, and i am able to create the custom fields in the "current view" but not able to select them when mapping the data from Excel to Outlook. Outlook doesn't support importing to custom fields. You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.

I have not installed my "business contact manager" program. Would that do the custom field/import issue? > Outlook doesn't support importing to custom fields.

This may be of interest regarding importing data into custom fields: http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm (FYI - CG Importer is an "import" only product and duplicates can result if contacts pre-exist. CG DataPorter allows "updating" of pre-existing contacts provided that you can uniquely identify a contact using one or more fields (user specified) that are contained in both the contact folder and input data file). CG products are not intended for BCM configurations. Re: Business Contact Manager - has it's own import process but does not enable importing to custom fields not belonging to BCM.
