Hi: I have 500 contacts , several categories. There are three categories of
approx. 60 ,people each that are in different districts of my organization. I
need to be able to compile lists from those districts from time to time by
such things as gender, age, zip code, etc. I have copied those 3 districts
into seperate folders
Whats the best way to have the flexibility I need. I can export to
access or excel if need be. office 2007 . Thanks so much for any suggestions.
Sincerely

Bob Levin

If you customize the view, you can sort by any field you want. Is there
anything beyond making lists you want to do?

Thank you dlw: I was surprised that "customize current view" opened up a lot
of possibilities. I think I can do everything I need to do without exporting.
Sorting, filtering, and grouping gives one a lot of flexibility with
contacts. Thanks much.
