Outlook Custom Fields sync?

I have Microsoft Outlook 2002 (as well as 2007) running on a Windows Vista
machine. I have created a new contact form based upon the default that has
additional custom fields.

I also have an HP IPAQ rx 3000 series pocket pc running windows mobile
2003SE. I can sync my contacts from the computer to my pocket pc, but none
of the custom fields are showing. I'm displaying the contacts in the
'default' contacts program on the pocket pc (choosing 'contacts' from the
home screen).

How can I sync and view the custom fields as well? Do I need a 3rd party
app. to do this? If so, what is available? Or can this be done somehow
within outlook itself?

I'm not set on Outlook - if a third party app can offer a desktop and pocket
pc version and allow custom fields, that should work fine; are there any
recommendations?

Any suggestions/help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan,

You can't sync custom fields using WMDC and Outlook. The device just doesn't
support it. Earlier there was a product called Intellisync which would allow
you to map custom fields to one of the existing fields on the phone and thus
be able to get the information on the device however that product has been
discontinued and therefore not aware of any other app which can do the same.

What information does your custom field contain?
