Importing Custom Fields & Creating Forms
 
HI,

I have a database in Excel of contacts with custom fields from which I would
like to import into Outlook as Contact Cards. I'm not overly technical, and
would appreciate a fairly easy method to completing this task.

I understand that when creating custom forms, that any custom fields are not
importable/exportable without some VBA Scripting.. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance
Simon

Correct. Outlook does not support importing to a custom form, nor importing custom fields. You would need to write your own import code or use a third-party tool. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
