See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/convertfields.htm for an Outlook VBA procedure that copies data from one field to another. Post back if you have questions about it.

Newb alert!

So I've been working with my address book. I've done a FEW VB scripts
for various things, but it's all basically been cut and paste. My
scenario is this.

I work for a small private college in the midwest as a recruiter. I
recruit students from IN, IL, MI and OH. We have a database for all
students, and I get a list of my students from those states that are at
various stages of enrollment status. I imported that in to my address
book, but instead of being able to match certain fields (i.e. GPA, id#)
to the custom fields I have created in outlook, I had to map them to
User1, User2, etc. Is there any way to copy the contents of User1 to a
cusom field ID now? If the solution lies in a script, please help me
understand how to use it. Thank you so much!
