Outlook doesn't support exporting or importing custom fields.

Default export file - user defined fields

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields. Quick and dirty method:

1. Put all the items from your form in one folder.
2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to export to Excel.
3. Choose Edit | Select All.
4. Choose Edit | Copy.
5. Paste to Excel.

If some of the fields are multi-line, see Eric Legault's handy tip for an Excel formula to break up the lines -- http://blogs.officezealot.com/legaul...4/08/4502.aspx

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm .
