VE,
Your best choice would be Access. I would recommend 3 tables, one for your
contact info, a second for a listing of all specialties and a third that
would list all of the specialties of each contact. This way you could set
up a form listing the contact in the main part of the form and a sub-form to
list their specialties. This would allow you to enter as many (or as few)
specialties as each contact has. It would also make searching for specific
specialties much simpler.

Hello everyone,
I have a contact list of over 500 people. I need to
categorize them into the specialties they offer.
I have the regular contact info: name, address, phone,
fax, email, website, etc.
Then each contact has 5 specialties and there are
easily 70-100+ specialties! (I hope this is making
sense :-)).
I want to set up the best database for my needs. For
example, a client will contact me and request
resources for performance improvement or sales. I
want to then be able to go to my database and retrieve
all the consultants who specialize in the requested
resource. That could be 2-60 consultants.
I will also be using this database for mailing labels.
Would it be better to set up a database in Access or
Excel? Any suggestions?
