Is it possible to export contacts which is modified after a specified date to
Excel. There is no such filter in the export wizard and also there is no
"modified" field in the exported file that can be filter through Excel.
Please advise.

Thanks,
Gareth.

You could move all Contacts modified after a certain date to a new folder,
then export that folder. Look for the modified field.

If you need more directions, come back!

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Thanks. I am currently using this method. Would there be any more direct ways
to do this.

You may find one of ContactGenie Exporter editions to be of interest
(http://www.contactgenie.com/cgxfeatures.htm) which both allows you to
filter on the last mod date as well as export it should you need the info.

PS - As you're no doubt aware but as a FYI in case you're not - when
exporting directly to Excel, all text fields are preceded by a single quote
(which is true of both Outlook and CGX). If you export the data to a CSV
file and open it in Excel - the leading quote does not get included. The
caveat is that when exporting to Excel - Outlook uses the internal Outlook
field names, whereas for CSV it uses the Outlook "Display As" field names.
(CGX will export either naming convention or alternatively let you
completely customize & sequence the output fields).
