This article was previously published under Q258996 SYMPTOMS
User-defined fields are not available when you use the Advanced Find feature.

RESOLUTION
Use one of the following methods to work around this problem:

Method 2
To force Outlook to refresh the list of fields:
- Change the In: <Location>, and then click Browse...
- Clear all checks from all selected folders, and then check to enable only the folder that you want to perform the Advanced Find in.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
When initiating an Advanced Find indirectly (by first initiating a Find, and later selecting Advanced Find... from the Find items in <folder name>' window), the In: <location> option is set to search the top-most folder in the default store for the current profile.
