How do you transfer User Defined Task Fields/Columns in Outlook??
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. Is there a file that holds this information? Presumably I can transfer this file from the old system to the new one? thanks in advance.

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. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

no - not a custom form. basically the user had created a number of
user-defined columns in Tasks.
