Customizing Lookup
I am a longtime ACT! user and one of the features I am missing is the
customizable lookup feature. For example, when I am going to a city on business I can create a specific lookup for that particular city. It will then create a list of all my customers in that city and only that city. ACT! also allows you to create a lookup from any field but it is this one that I miss the most. I tried to create a new "view" in Outlook by setting Country/Region first, then State/Prov and City but all this does is list all 1,600 contacts this way and it is not even sorted alphabetically by city. Any ideas?

Customizing Lookup
Why aren't you using Advanced Find?

Customizing Lookup
If you want to organize by city, then create a new view that groups all contacts by city.

Customizing Lookup
Thanks Russ, that worked. It's obvious that I need to spend a lot more time
learning the features of Outlook. As mentioned, I have been using ACT! for a number of years now and never really spent any amount of time with Outlook.

There's a lot in Outlook that isn't very intuitive. I usually find the most
useful features by doing the opposite of what I thought I should. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Slider76" wrote in message ... Thanks Russ, that worked.
