Mapping to User Defined Fields

I'm trying to import my Act database into Contacts and
when I try to map the fields from Act to Contacts I don't
see any of the User Defined Fields I've added to my
Contact form (which I need to handle some of my Act
fields). Can someone help?

I'm looking at your "To convert imported data to custom
fields" code.

How can I tell what the names of the custom added fields
are? I've added a custom field with the caption "Metro
Area" and when in Design This Form window, if I right
click the field box, click Properties, under the Display
tab, the Name appears as TextBox1--would I include the
following code:

objItem.UserProperties("Metro Area") = objItem.User1

or

objItem.UserProperties("TextBox1") = objItem.User1

or something different?

Sorry--I'm new at this,
David

Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form. You'd

have to write custom code or use a third-party
application. See

You're mixing up the names of fields and the names of the controls that display them. TextBox1 is the name of the control. You'll see the name of the field that it's bound to on the Value tab of the control's Properties dilaog.

Gotcha.

If the Choose Field box on the Value tab of the control's
Properties dialog displays Metro Area would I include the
following code:

objItem.UserProperties("Metro Area") = objItem.User1

or

objItem.Metro Area = objItem.User1
