Saved by an add-on tool - Part 2

Not only is it difficult to get data out of Outlook for contacts, but it is equally as difficult to get your complete data back into Outlook contacts!  The import tool that is a part of Outlook software does not allow you to pull in all fields, such as File As!  I find this disturbing.  Luckily, so do others, which is why there are add-on tools out there that allow you to import all necessary fields back into Outlook.

The one I found to be most useful and cost-effective is ContactGenie DataPorter (www.contactgenie.com).  The company has a simpler tool called ContactGenie Importer but my computer was having issues with the process so I opted for the more complex program.

 I thank the folks at ContactGenie for helping me get through my client project and make the client happy by allowing fields like File As to be imported correctly back into Outlook.
