This may be of interest regarding importing data into custom fields:

http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm

(FYI - CG Importer is an "import" only product and duplicates can result if
contacts pre-exist. CG DataPorter allows "updating" of pre-existing contacts
provided that you can uniquely identify a contact using one or more fields
(user specified) that are contained in both the contact folder and input
data file). CG products are not intended for BCM configurations.

Business Contact Manager - has it's own import process but does not
enable importing to custom fields not belonging to BCM.

I have not installed my "business contact manager" program. Would that do
the
custom field/import issue?

Outlook doesn't support importing to custom fields. You'd have to write
custom code or use a third-party application. See

the data from Excel to Outlook.
