MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006Excel field -Nickname- not importing
In my Excel (2003) worksheet I have a "Nickname" column which I would like imported into my Outlook (2003 Pro Edition) contacts. When I get to Map Custom Fields dialog box, there is no Nickname field in the TO: Microsoft Outlook Contacts section. Is there a way to add this somewhere? Any help is really appreciated!! Outlook provides no support for importing or exporting user defined or custom fields.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

This somewhat stumps me since there is a "Nickname" field in Contacts on Outlook when I open up a contact and go to the "Details" tab. Wouldn't that suggest that the field should be available for importing from another file? > Outlook provides no support for importing or exporting user defined or > custom fields.

As you've discovered - the Outlook import/export wizard does not include a full list of available fields (nickname being one of those not included). Outlook imports/exports a little over 80 fields (our field list for importing & exporting runs somewhere around 110+ which still isn't a totally complete list but does cover just about every mainstream field).
