Alan,
How about creating a simple Excel database and then import it to Outlook? The 
first link below is a video that uses Outlook 2007 and Excel 2003/2007 although 
it works the same way with the 2003 version.

Hope this works for you.=)

This is going to be used for data entry by unsophisticated people so I'd like 
to have a UI that clear and not prone to error. A naked Access file wouldn't 
work at all.

I would export from Outlook to a Microsoft Access file, strip out the data and 
any columns I did not want, and start from there.

I need a simple contact database program with the usual fields for data that 
eventually will be imported into Outlook. Therefore I want the database to be 
"Outlook compatible" whatever that means. 
What I have in mind is that, for instance, the name fields in this simple 
database aren't longer than Outlook wants to see. Or, on import, cell numbers 
go into the right slot rather than being confused with home faxes. I'm not of a 
mind to start from scratch in Access. What I need ought to be already-built. 
Any suggestions?
