Accessing Hidden Fields
Many times, I download data from the web into Outlook by contact capturing
software. Then I export those contacts from Outlook into Access. I notice there are over 50 hidden fields that I don't see in the Detailed Business Card View, such as birthday, anniversary, the person's assistant information, etc. How do you access those fields in case you want to use them? One field in particular that I find useful is the BusinessPhone2 field. Where is it? Thanks.

Accessing Hidden Fields
In a table view such as Phone List, you can use the Field Chooser to add any
fields to the table. Turn on the Advanced Toolbar and use the Field Chooser. It defaults to Frequently USed Fields, but you can change it to show all Contacts Fields. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Accessing Hidden Fields
Thanks for your reply.
This is very interesting. Why would Microsoft have all these fields available, but make it so hard to access and use them?

Accessing Hidden Fields
Have you ever been trained in how to use Outlook? It's a huge and
complicated programme. Most of the best stuff is well hidden. 2007 attempts to remedy this.

Accessing Hidden Fields
No, I have not been trained in Outlook. It seems so easy by using common
sense, but I guess I am wrong. I will take a look at your website and article. Thanks. "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: Have you ever been trained in how to use Outlook?
