Default Office 2007: Outlook - Windows Contact Import Problem

In the same vein as the problem Shatin is having, if you simply export
Windows Contacts to a CSV file, the fields birthday, anniversary,
spouse/partner, children, etc. are not exported.

Now, why the hell would we be allowed to enter this "other" data for the
contact, yet not be allowed to export it!

I want to export all of my contact data so I can read it into an Access data
base.

Please, anyone, if I'm missing something here when I to export my contacts,
let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks Brian. I guess I am stuck with Windows Mail and Windows Contact
then. I am most reluctant to re-enter all that data into Outlook again. I
am disappointed that such a problem would arise between two Microsoft
programs.


What you need to realise is that Outlook is designed for business use
primarily, where things like anniversaries, birthdays, children etc etc are
not of the first priority...
