Customizing Lookup
I am a longtime ACT! user and one of the features I am missing is the
customizable lookup feature. For example, when I am going to a city on business I can create a specific lookup for that particular city. It will then create a list of all my customers in that city and only that city. ACT! also allows you to create a lookup from any field but it is this one that I miss the most. I tried to create a new "view" in Outlook by setting Country/Region first, then State/Prov and City but all this does is list all 1,600 contacts this way and it is not even sorted alphabetically by city. Any ideas? |

Why aren't you using Advanced Find?

If you want to organize by city, then create a new view that groups all contacts by city.

Thanks Russ, that worked. It's obvious that I need to spend a lot more time
learning the features of Outlook. As mentioned, I have been using ACT! for a number of years now and never really spent any amount of time with Outlook.

There's a lot in Outlook that isn't very intuitive. I usually find the most
useful features by doing the opposite of what I thought I should. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Slider76" wrote in message ... Thanks Russ, that worked.
