Only Outlook's Export Wizard, which certainly allows you to customize what
fields are exported to Excel.

Hi Russ,

Yes, I kind of knew that "Address Book" was one view of a Contacts Folder.

But, my question is about some interface from Excel into Outlook Contacts
folder. Maybe something like ODBC, or OLE DB, etc. Both Word and Publisher
seem to have some kind of access in which the user can make selections
about what actually gets imported. Do you know of anything like that for
Outlook contacts -- EXCEL?

Are you aware that there is no Outlook Address Book? It is simply a view
of Outlook's Contacts Folder. You can certainly export your Contacts
Folder to an Excel file if you want.

I know that the Outlook Address Book can be used as a database source for
mail merge in Word & Publisher.

I would expect that Excel would also have access to that address book
via its Data Import External data capability. But, I don't know how to
set that up.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim
