I have created a custom contact form for some marketing
leads I acquired. The form contains some special fields
that I want to import from my CSV file. How do I import
this file into the custom form. My only option seems to
be the default form. I am not on exchange.

You cannot import data to custom (user-defined) fields either separately or
those contained within a custom form using the standard Outlook import
engine. You'll need a 3rd party product (such as one of ours) - you can also
find info on other options here:

I just did this the other day, works great.

here is a link to outlook administrator tools.

After install, from the tools menu, click "forms" then
select "change form" select your custom form from there.
