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 http://www.microsoft.com/office/outl...o/default.mspx "Gian" wrote in message ... Hi All.
