Hello,
I am looking for some advice from a experienced form maker.
I would like to make a form that I will be able to both look up information (ie. by phone number or name of company, job title applied for) and enter information/ cold call.
Things I would like to keep record of are the hiring manager/receptionist names, company information, phone numbers, cell numbers, fax numbers, email address, web site, dates and time contacted, what was said during interview, and maybe notes so that I know when the good times to call.
I have a excel sheet setup, but unfortunately there is not much room for notes(unless you don't mind entering it then highlighting it to see what is in the box).
I know that I could just use another line to enter the data, but I find that too confusing.
Do you know what I am talking about?

Maybe a form that will be able to access multiple RSS information.

Using Access? Is this related to your post here: http://www.computing.net/answers/of...
Import the Excel spreadsheet into Access then create a form based on the Table. It's very easy.

hmmm...
sorry to be so repetitive Jenn, but I am just trying to decide what is best before I commit myself to a form of keeping my records in line.
Ah, I looked at the online Address templates and also the import excel and wasn't impressed with either one.
I have used Outlook before but am a little hesitant as I am not familiar with the program and as far back as I can rememeber(I was using Office 97 at the time), the program was giving me problems then when I backed up my data, the problems seemed to follow me after I reloaded(import/export) the saved information.
But, I will have to try again.
It would be nice to get into somehow making a bot of somesort to get the information that I am interested in using a RSS feed...but...ahh...I suppose for what I need for now the Outlook '07 program will have to do.

What say I use the excel for data. Can I somehow import it into Outlook contact cards?

Yes. File, Import and Export, Import from another program or file, and just follow the wizard.
