You know, User Field 1, 2, 3, 4. Can they be renamed? Better yet, can they
be programmed?

Back story:

I need to export names and numbers to a fax program phone book.
Unfortunately, they only have slots for Name, Address, Fax Number and a few
others. Well, some fax numbers are for companies and some for persons, and
so half transfer with no name at all. You can't export FileAs -- which would
be the logical way. I can program a field to list either the Company or the
Name -- but that won't export either. I could run the text file through a
database but, sheesh, there must be a simpler way. Now I *can* export user
fields. But how to get the data into one?

Thanks,

Thanks, Sue. Given my almost complete illiteracy in VB -- let alone VBA for
Outlook (the very existence of which I had no idea) it looks like a few
quality minutes with my favorite text editor.

Too bad about the renaming, though.

No.

Yes, almost every Outlook property's value can be set programmatically. You
might find the VBA code sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/convertfields.htm useful.
