When you post any programming questions you generally need to post the
Outlook version.

Take a look at journal items. They have a type for phone calls and a timer
to time events and activities. You can link to contacts in the Contacts box
(Links collection) and you can add an item such as an appointment to a
journal item.

I need to have a call log of all phone calls, and I want to link both
Outlook
Contacts and Calendar events, but I don't need it for every call record.
I'm
not sure which way to go - create database and forms in Access and link,
or
work within Outlook. Can a combination of task and calendar items work?

Thanks!
BJ
