While importing contacts from OUTLOOK to ACCESS, any 'User-defined Fields' do
not import. In fact, it appears OUTLOOK is not exporting them.

Does anyone know how to work around this to get the User-defined fields into
ACCESS? Thx!

You can get at them via automation code, but not by standard linking. In
fact standard linking doesn't even get you all of the built in fields much
less the user-defined ones.
 
You need to customize the "Schema.ini" file in order to get User Fields but
it's not a simple task since there is not much documentation on the
subjet...
