In Outlook 2002/Contacts, I right-clicked on the column names add added the

"Created" and "Modified" date fields, which now display with each contact.

I now want to export by Contacts file, with these fields included. When I

get to the Map Fields part of the Export process, these fields are not

available for selection. Is there a way that I can export them directly from

Outlook? If not, I found an add-on shareware program that claims to be able

to do this. Thanks.
 
Create and LastMod date fields (among a host of others) are not part of the

Outlook (any version) export map field group. Aside from writing your own

code, a 3rd party solution is your only option. Depending on the number of

fields you want to capture combined with the number of contacts - an

alternative approach is to create a view with the requisite fields and do a

cut 'n paste into Excel but wouldn't suggest this approach for a lot of

fields and/or a lot of contacts.

I don't know about earlier versions of Outlook, but this works in Outlook 2010.


  • Select the Contacts tab.

  • Set the system to view your contacts as a List (the appearance is like a table but without the lines).

  • Add a column that shows the Created Date.

    • Right-click on the header bar and select Field Chooser.

    • In the Field Chooser, click on the drop-down menu and select All Mail Fields.

    • Scroll down until you find Created Date.

    • Click on this tab and drag it to the header strip above the list. Drop it in the required position.



  • Use the Search tool if required, to select particular contacts.

  • Click anywhere in the list and use Select All (Crtl+A) and Copy (Ctrl+C).

  • Switch to Excel and Paste it into a blank sheet.

Bingo! All the required information is pasted in OK, including the Created Date.
