I have thousands of entries in my contacts in Outlook 2003 and am wondering
if there is a way to only show me a list of entries whose value for "categories" are a certain word. E.g. say I have a list of contacts who are in a lot of industry fields, is there a way to show a list of ONLY those who are lawyers (specified as "law" in categories), and not showing other contacts in the list and can quickly view the total no of entries in this category? I know there's "group by this field" if I right click a column head but it is not quite what I want, it drives me nuts when I have to scroll through the groups to find the right category... my palm desktop can do such filtering, why can't Outlook do too? It's the major drawback that's stopping me from switching to a WM5 pda phone... Thanks, Julius |

On the bottom of the Current View window is a Define Views Button - it's
quite easy to make your own filtered view which will show you just what you want to see. "Julius Mong" wrote in message ...
