Howdy, and thanks in advance for looking.

Here's my problem: I run a medical office. When we get a patient we enter a bunch of information into Outlook. The VAST majority of it (diagnosis, etc.) is in user-defined fields. We also have to fill out prescriptions and such and we're doing it all by hand right now. VERY time-consuming. So, I bought Microsoft Access for a few hundred bucks and want to have the info from my Outlook Contacts pop-up into forms we're going to create in Access. Unfortunately Access won't import user-defined fields. Well, I think I've wasted the money on Access and need to just hire a computer programmer to do whatever it is I need.

Here's where you come in. Does anyone here know an easy way to get user-defined fields from Outlook Contacts to a database in Access

Thanks in advance

Bob
 
And by the way, I've tried the cut and paste to Excel method, and it doesn't work for me. For some reason the fields aren't in the right place, and the data is jumbled into the wrong cells, etc.

I'm willing to pay for something if I have to, I just need to get this taken care of pronto.

Thanks again.

Bob
