Adding information to columns in "Category" view
I have a rather large contact list to create. I'd like to do it in the
"Category" view because it's easier and faster. I am unable to create additional colums that are capable of accepting information. When I add fields (columns) like: "Address", "E-mail", etc. I am unable to make an entry to the newly created columns. Of course I can do it in "address card" view. Why not "category" view? I can add the columns but they won't accept data. Thanks, emlawpro

Seems like a rather awkward way to do things. Table views were not really
intended for data entry. Have you enabled in cell editing in this view? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "emlawpro" wrote in message ... I have a rather large contact list to create.

Adding information to columns in "Category" view
Neither Address nor Email is a simple text field. They're both combinations of multiple fields. You could add the fields for city, state, etc. to the view but you'll still need to open a contact to create an email address.
Maybe the solution is to create the list in Excel and then import into Outlook? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "emlawpro" wrote in message ...
