Contacts by Company
Hello!
I need to know how can I create contacts by Company. What I mean is: I have a company C and I want to create ONE contact for Company C. (only appearing one contact on contact list). Inside the Contact C, I want to add some human contacts, like accounting, salesman, director, whatever...). But, when I seach for salesman S for company C, I'll search for exactly this, and not for S only. Is it possible? I mean, create a contact for company and a "sub-contact" for worker? I realized that perhaps Business Contact Manager will do this for me, will it? Thanks a lot. Deiota |
Contacts by Company
Seems like a very awkward idea.
Any reason you can't just assign the company to each of the contacts like belong to that company? That's the way Outlook was designed and is the way the rest of us would do it. The other standard ways to group contacts is to use a Category or a separate Contacts Subfolder. There is no such thing as "subcontact" since there is no need for one. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Deiota" wrote in message ... Hello! I need to know how can I create contacts by Company.

I think it would be the easy way to organize my contacts. Any reason you can't just assign the company to each of the contacts like belong to that company? That's the way Outlook was designed and is the way the rest of us would do it. I'm different then. Imagine that I work at Microsoft and only on my department there are a 100 contacts I want to add, on accounting another 100, etc... Imagine my contacts list (huge) and the work will do to add them! On all 200 contacts, I'd have to add address, phone number, accounting number etc... Then I'd have on each of the contacts mobile numbers, email addresses, birthdays, whatever... I think the easyest way would be create MIcrosoft as a Company CONTACT and inside of each personal details for each of the members. The other standard ways to group contacts is to use a Category or a separate Contacts Subfolder. There is no such thing as "subcontact" since there is no need for one. Using categories seams kind of stupid solution. Each category for each company would be impossible to deal with. If I'll have 100 companies, would have 100 different categories... Not pratical About creating Contacts subfolders would do if I could add TO THE SUBFOLDER some information (the address, accounting number, data related to the company itself) and then just would add Contacts inside with personal details of each. My idea was to be able to do a "distribuition list" with data abnd insilde contacts related to the "distribution list". Or, easier, when I do "create new contact", despite of imput First and Last name and Company, would input just Company and on "business address", imput the address of the company etc... and be able to have tab to each related user (person). On this tab, I'd imput personal details. Is it a dumb idea? Am I just too complicated? Perhaps I want this more simple. Can't I create a form with this? Insert tabs like I want and relate the main tab (company) with the other (persons)?? Best regards. Deiota |

I don't know whether you're "too complicated" or not. I only know that
Outlook seems to provide more than enough ways to organize or group Contacts for everyone else. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Deiota" wrote in message ... Seems like a very awkward idea.
