Default File As filed not exporting

When I export contacts either into Excel or Access, the File As field is not
exporting. Is there a way to get this to export. What I need to do is export
the file, modify it to add custom field and import it back and have the 'File
As' keep its setting. I am able to export and import custom fields but dont
see the 'File As' field.

The File As field does not exist as a separate data field. It is a field
derived from its separate name element fields. Those are what you export.

I don't understand your question. As I said, the information is all there in
the name fields.

I exported the data in an Excel and Access format, the File As infomation
is not being exported. I can see the infomation in the fields in Outlook
on the main contact screen and on the All Fields - Freq Used Fields. For
example, I have a contact, in the file as field I have one item, 3M, that
info is not in either export.

I already answered that. Derived fields do not export. Their individual
names elements are exported.

Thank you but is there any way to get the data in this field, via VBA or
VB, or some other type of script.

Probably, but that is a question for a programming group. The only code I
know of is to change the File As... field within Outlook:
