I've made some real progress with getting my PIM data
transfered (and correctly assigned to fields) from my old
program (Day-Timer) into Outlook. Is there a way to
either make my own grouping of fields under the "All
Fields" tab (of existing field names where the import
process will offer them as choices for mapping) or create
my own "user-defined" fields (which the import process
will then allow me to chose from when I'm doing my
assigning of old data fields to Outlook fields). Perhaps
neither is possible. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. -Larry

You can add any custom fields you want to contact items and make up a
customized form that shows those fields but the import/export wizard
can't work with custom fields at all. To import/export custom fields
you have to write code for that purpose.
