Managing and parsing names other than main contact
Hi all:
The name of the contact in Outlook is nicely managed with that popup dialogue box, and it takes care of managing first/middle/last names. But I have a number of other persons that I am coping with in my custom form. What is the best practice for managing these names? Do I need new custom fields for "Title", "FirstName", "MiddleName" and "LastName" for each of these people, to provide all the flexibility I need for mail merges? Or is there a better way? Thanks! Fred

Managing and parsing names other than main contact
If your primary requirement is to be able to use each name part separately
in a mail merge then, yes, you'd need a separate custom property for each part. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Fred Boer" wrote in message ...

Thanks! I'll get on building the fields, then!
