You are indicating the newest version of Outlook 2007 WILL NOT search
the Notes field? WTF as my teenaged son would say. And your
suggestion is "place the information somewhere else besides Notes"?
Like some other contact management software? Search is THE most
critical part of a contacts database.

At this point I am syncing to my PDA and searching my contacts on
Mobile 6 on the PDA. Can this be the way Microsoft wants it's
applications to NOT work?

What happened to making products people want to buy?

I tried to make my rant Microsoft directed, sorry. We all realize you
and the group are not the problem. But you and I are quite often in
the position of explaining that Microsoft just didn't get it right.
Perhaps we should stop explaining and start using alternatives.- Tom
