How do I filter my contacts in Outlook 2003 for a custom field?

[Masque42]

I need to set a filter in Outlook 2003 contacts that searches a custom Yes/No
field. It won't show up anywhere in the usual filters screen.
Thanks.

I am not sure what you call "the usual filters screen".

2 things..

1. When In a table view, with your User Defined Yes/No field showing, try
grouping by that field (drag it inot the Group By Box - found on the
Advanced Toolbar). Come back if you need more instructions to do this.

2. Have you tried to Define a New View that is filtering to show only items
where your field value is "yes"? Again, let me know if you need
instructions to do this.
