removing information from custom fields for all contacts at once
In article ,

UDF's and UDF's intheFolder are like rats. There is no real way to remove them aside from removing the food that feeds them. When you remove the UDF from the folder design, that just converts the fields to fields in the data item. You have to go to each and every item and remove the fields from the item. The only real strategy is to create a new pst, rebuild all the contacts by typing them in directly, no copying in from the old .pst file, and setting the new .pst file to be the delivery point for your email operations. You can try coping in the contacts without the folder design, but you would still have the UDF's in the items. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA
