After furious head scratching, Jeeslawees asked:

| Please elaborate on what you mean by group and how do you create such
| a group?
|
| Also, don't you think that Outlook should have the capablity of making
| almost every field a drop down list? That seems pretty basic to all
| major contact manager programs.
|
| And why is there no Find & Replace feature for updating in bulk.
| Like when a company changes it's name or address.

||| I often have multiple contacts at a company but they can get

||| company search if there's a variation in the company name, which is
||| actually
||| quite common; i.e. a comma before Co. in one entry and not another,
||| use of Inc. in one name and not another; use of a DBA as opposed to
||| corporate name,
||| etc. With a drop down box that lists all the company names already
||| in Outlook, one could be assured of consistency so all contacts for
||| the same company appear when ordered by company.
