Sure. You can add the Modified field to any list view of your Contacts.

Thank you, Russ. It looks like I can't have what I want; no automatic
duplication of contacts but in another format. Export is no problem,
but importing into another program can be a PITA. I'm thinking to use
FileMaker Pro as the other program. It's easy to prevent duplicates.
BTW, does Outlook 2002 have a way to reveal the DATE on which a
contact was added or last modified? That would save me a lot of
trouble.
