=============================== Gil ... I know that James already knows how to set up categories cuz he's asked questions related to that in this group before ... so here's another way to do it ... I'm using Outlook 2007 also ... I use the "Notes" section in the contacts form to put in keywords so I can search for them. Here's how I do it: 1. Open your exterminator's contact form 2. In the Notes box, type exterminator 3. Save and close the form 4. Still inside the contact's folder, click on the Tools menu and choose Instant Search>Instant Search ... a box appears at the top left of the screen ... type exterminator in that box and hit Enter and it should bring up the appropriate contact ... and if you had exterminator in more than one, it will bring them all up. Hope this helps. Linda ============================= Thank you The search function searching in notes did the trick Also is a new function for me with lots and lots of "functionality" Thanks ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu at the top.
