Importing contacts from XLS file

G

Guest

I am using MS Outlook 2003. I have an xls file with contact details filled
in. There are certain columns in xls which outlook contacts do not provide
for. I created user defined fields and tried importing the xls using the
import wizard. The problem is that the user defined fields which I created in
outlook doesn't appear which matching the fields.
Is there any way out?

Thanks

Outlook does not support importing to custom fields. You would need to write your own import code or use a third-party tool. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
