How to add more than one Name to same contact record in Outlook?
 

Hi All.
I Wonder if you could tell me where i am going wrong or if perhaps Outlook
doesn't cater for this function.

Normally we use the existing contact forms on Outlook to record just ONE
individual contact name at a time.

So for example, i can only add one contact at a time like "Mr John Bloggs"
belonging to "Company A" and then save it. If i than have another name that
belongs to the same "Company A", than i have to create a separate record,
hence very repetitive task.

What about if instead i want to ADD my record so that i have under the
GENERAL tab "Compay A" as my standard record and under a second tab ADD all
the different Contact details at one time together with their departments etc?

It sounds easy, and i am pretty confortable with the "design form"
function... so layout i am ok, but i feel that i am missing something when it
comes to creating my actual fields for the FIRST NAME, LAST NAME etc.

As the latter are repetitive fields, what tends to happen when i create/ADD
a name, it just repeats the whole exact record throughout again... So for
example i'll have 2 or more "Mr John Bloggs" for "Company A".

How can i create my form so that i can have CONTACT1, CONTACT2 etc all under
the same record (COMPANY)?

Please help as its driving me nuts!!! :(

Thanks
Gian

I'm not saying it can't be done (I mean it's only software) and maybe
someone else will direct you to a solution.
But it sounds to me that you are trying to extend contact management to
something better fitting a more appropriate tool. Even something like
Business Contact Manager for Outlook
