why can't I get "Business phone" column to populate in task view?

I am trying to develop a "Cold Call View " in tasks in Outlook to print a to
do list. the list contains name, company , title, business phone, notes, and
date last called , and subject(from task list). Busines phone column will ot
populate. I have tried many approached to soling this problem. Does any body
know why I can't merge fields fro COntacts and Tasks and have it work?
Please advise

Any folder view shows only the data in that folder, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add fields from different types of items in the folder. You can accomplish what you want, however, with a little custom VBA code. For an example, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566
