I've have a user that has just had a new computer. I transferred
their Outlook data from their old system to the new one. Everything
has transferred except the custom columns from Tasks and the
associated data he'd entered into the columns.

The user had a large amount of data held within the custom columns
he'd created and I need to get this data back for him.

How did you transfer the data? If you used export/import, it's no wonder.
That process cannot handle custom data. There are third-party tools that can,
however, such as can be found at http://www.codetwo.com/ , and you can write
custom code to help as well. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=23 .

That said, if your data is stored in a PST, then if you just transfer the PST
and connect it properly to the second Outlook instance, all the data should
transfer.
