Databases and Contacts
I have just learned how to construct a database in excel so that I can sort
my customers by the products that they buy (using filters). What would be useful is to do this with my contacts in Outlook 2000 so that I can ask "which customers by product "A" and just those contacts would appear - is this possible? Peter

You can do something similar in Outlook. Perhaps the easiest way is to set a category on each item corresponding to each product. That way, you can track multiple products for each contact in the By Category view or in a filtered view.

Assign a category of "Product A" to those contacts who purchase that product and then group by category. -- Brian Tillman

How do you create new categories? The categories I find are business, goals
etc. not product A, B, C etc "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

Just type in whatever text you want to use for the category.
