How to add more than one Name to same contact record in Outlook?

[Guest]

Hi All.
I Wonder if you could tell me where i am going wrong or if perhaps Outlook
doesn't cater for this function.

Normally we use the existing contact forms on Outlook to record just ONE
individual contact name at a time.

So for example, i can only add one contact at a time like "Mr John Bloggs"
belonging to "Company A" and then save it. If i than have another name that
belongs to the same "Company A", than i have to create a separate record,
hence very repetitive task.

What about if instead i want to ADD my record so that i have under the
GENERAL tab "Compay A" as my standard record and under a second tab ADD all
the different Contact details at one time together with their departments etc?

It sounds easy, and i am pretty confortable with the "design form"
function... so layout i am ok, but i feel that i am missing something when it
comes to creating my actual fields for the FIRST NAME, LAST NAME etc.

As the latter are repetitive fields, what tends to happen when i create/ADD
a name, it just repeats the whole exact record throughout again... So for
example i'll have 2 or more "Mr John Bloggs" for "Company A".

How can i create my form so that i can have CONTACT1, CONTACT2 etc all under
the same record (COMPANY)?

Please help as its driving me nuts!!!

Thanks
Gian

I'm not saying it can't be done (I mean it's only software) and maybe
someone else will direct you to a solution.
But it sounds to me that you are trying to extend contact management to
something better fitting a more appropriate tool. Even something like
Business Contact Manager for Outlook
