User Defined Fields created in BCM.
In order to sync my UDF fields I have to have the UDF I have created (A), and have found a BCM field that I was not using placed in the contacts view (B) in order to sync the data to Excel and still be able to use the Bulk Edit function in BCM.
My problem is that I have to copy the data in A across to B for each contact so that it is synced via SQL connection.Is there a way to have a macro copy from A to B when data is entered?

Accessing User-Defined Fields in a BCM2010 SQL Database
In BCM, custom fields are called user-defined fields (UDF). When a UDF is created, BCM creates entries in several tables to keep track of the new UDF, stores the actual data in binary format and labels the columns UserField# – where # is a number between 1 and 300.
