How has one managed to get the Now Contacts Custom Fields to Address
Book? With Now X I can get all the other info (including Primary
Status, Notes, etc.) over to Address Book but not any Custom Fields.
Just looking for this last step and then I don’t have to worry about
Now X again...

Thanks in advance,

I don't think you can. Address Book just doesn't have those fields.
I would be happy, really happy, to be proven wrong on this.

I know that those fields don’t exist but I’m looking to add them to
the Primary Note (similar to how Custom Fields were added to the Palm
Treo’s even though those fields didn’t exist).

For example:
All Custom Data is incorporated/added into the Primary Sync Note -

Note Original Data
then added Custom Data (all in the same Note)
Contact(s) (field)
Custom4 <text from Now Contact custom field>
Custom5 <text from Now Contact custom field>
Custom6 <text from Now Contact custom field>
etc.

Then all of the Custom Data will sync (at least) to ones iPhone. This
approach, by the way, is implemented in this program:

The problem with using this program solely is that it is no where near
as elegant as Now X transferring data to Address Book. NC2AB mangles
the Primary Status, Address (home vs work), etc.

Using this program in conjunction with Now X is what I may have to
do. I was hoping for an improved Duplicate function in Now X but may
just have to try editing in Address Book.
