Judy,
You did answer the question I asked. What I meant to ask is "Is there a way
to have Outlook _AUTOMATICALLY_ store the date of last contact?"

Whenever you type an email to a contact, have an appointment with them, or
use Outlook to dial their phone number through a modem, it creates an entry
in the Journal. Is there a way to pick the most recent activity date from
the Journal and put it into a created "latest contact date" field for a
contact.

Act! 2000 does this automatically, and I got used to being able to sort by it.

You can do it manually by making a field "latest contact" and formatting it
as a date field. Then sort by date and you can see who you haven't rung in
say 3 months.

Use the Phone List view, turn on advanced toolbars and the Field Chooser has
a button to make a New... field. Once you make it, drag it onto the table
beside your existing fields.

Is there a way to store the most recent contact in an Outlook contact? It
seems like all that information is available in the Journal.

That way, if I have customers I want to talk to or email once a month, I
can
create a call list of every customer where the most recent contact date is

30 days.

I know this functionality exists in Act! - and it seems like this should
be
do-able in Outlook as well.
