IM Address won't map
I realise this is not a VB script group and apologize in advance but
need help with following. 1. I am trying to import some contacts into Contacts folder of Outlook 2003 but the stupid field mapping is missing the IM address in the outlook contacts' list of fields, any ideas? How do I set up a custome import template? 2. If I were to import it into a User Field could anyone point me to where I can find a script to move the data from the User field (say User 1) to another field (IM Address)? Not a VB script writer if anyone can help with how to do it, I will be grateful. Data I am trying to import are contacts in an Excel spreadsheet (why anyone would use Excel as database is beyond me but that is what they do, least path of resistance). |

1) You'd need to write your own import code or use a third-party tool. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
2) http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/convertfields.htm might be what you're looking for. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm if you need VBA essentials. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "aazar" wrote in message ups.com...

There is no way of customizing the import mapper to use fields it does not
support. The only alternatives would be to either use code to read the Excel sheet and do the import completely using code or after using the importer going back using code to the sheet and reading any columns not imported and adding that data to either built-in properties not supported or user properties. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "aazar" wrote in message ups.com...
