I have an outlook 2003 contact folder that I would like to export to an excel
spreadsheet. My problem is that I want to export the address based on the
box that is checked denoting "This is the mail to address". I cannot find a
field anywhere that denotes which address (business, home, or other) is the
mailing address. Does anyone know how to do this? I don't necessarily have
to export directly to excel, but I do need to eventually end up with the
addresses in an excel spreadsheet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Mailing Address" is a derived field that Outlook creates. It is never a
good idea to try to export a derived field, nor is it even possible in most
cases. You need to export the actual address element fields.

The Outlook import/export wizard does not provide the option to either
export/import this info. As Russ states - mailing address is "derived" -
from one of the 3 primary addresses. Two 3rd party solutions that can solve
your "mailing address" requirement a

#1 - CodeTwo - Outlook Export (free) - not related to us - provided as info
