Assign New Contact to a Category in Outlook 2002
I would like to know if it is possible to assign a new contact to a
category immediately when creating the new contact record. The only way I have found to do this is to create the new contact record, save it, go to my list of contacts and right-click it to assign a category. I'm sure there must be a way to do this from the initial new contact data entry screen instead of having to pull the contact back up from the listing once saved. |

Assign New Contact to a Category in Outlook 2002
Do you not see the Category field in the main page of the Contact Record?

Assign New Contact to a Category in Outlook 2002
Russ,
Thank you for your reply. No, I do not see a Category field in the main page of the Contact Record. Should it be on the General tab? The fields I show there are Full Name, Job Title, Company, File as, Address, Business phone, Home phone, Business Fax, Mobile, Email, Display as, Web page address, and IM address. If I am looking in the wrong place, please tell me where it should show. I have checked the fields on every tab and have also tried different Views. I researched this in the MS KB and on this group before I posted my question and did not see any references to the same issue. Sorry to be so dense!

Assign New Contact to a Category in Outlook 2002
It should be at the bottom of the General tab, along with a Contacts area
and a Private checkbox. If you don't see those make sure your form size shows the complete contacts form (assuming you're using a standard contacts form and not a custom one). Try maximizing the form and see if you see those fields. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Denise" wrote in message oups.com...

Assign New Contact to a Category in Outlook 2002
Ken,
Thank you so much. I do see the Contacts field at the bottom of the Contact Record now. It's possible it was there all along and I just never looked down below the large blank Notes field. If so, my bad. Either way, I truly appreciate the reply. Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook] wrote: It should be at the bottom of the General tab, along with a Contacts area and a Private checkbox.
