Hi,

I'm trying to insert custom fields into an address card
for a mail distribution (namely numbers of copies they'll
need and what categories). I created new fields in user-
defined-for-folder and added them to the design of the
form for one item but I can't figure out how to add them
to all my contacts. Furthermore, when I try to create a
new contact, it goes back to the old form. How do I have
it so the default contact card includes my new fields?

Also, I can't seem to include these new fields when I
export my contacts to an Excel spreadsheet. How come?
 
Answers to your questions are:

Re: exporting user-defined fields

Can't export UDF's via the standard import/export engine

Re: Changing your default form

See - http://www.slipstick.com/dev/newdefaultform.htm

Re: Adding UDF's to pre-existing contacts

You'll need to write custom code to do that
