This article was previously published under Q260560 SYMPTOMS
When you import data into the Microsoft Windows Address Book from the
Microsoft Works 4.x Address Book, some of the data may be lost
or omitted.
CAUSE
This issue may occur because the Works 4.x Address Book is a
special template of the Works database. Works 2000 and subsequent versions
of Works use the Windows Address Book. You may not be able to import some
custom fields added to the Works 4.x Address Book into the Windows
Address Book.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, import Works 4.x Address Books into a
Works database, and then preserve all of the fields. You can still mail
merge from the Works database and the only functionality that you lose is
the ability to synchronize with the Works Calendar.
