I wonder if anyone can help me?

Calculating Day of Week

I am trying to use Outlook as my contact management software in the
entertainment business.

I have several hundred potential venues that run on different days in the
week.

When I create a new contact I would like to be able to;
Input a date the venue has booked. This could be in the past or the future.
From the date I have input have outlook calculate which day of the week the
venue runs and store this information.

Later I want to be ale to pull up for example;
all venues that run on a Wednesday in a specific county

Printing letters
I use Outlook 2003 to synchronise with my PDA.

I am using Office 2000. when I try to print a letter to a contact I get an
error message saying I need to use an up to date version of Word.

I don't want or need a new version of Word or Office.
Is there any workaround?

You need to use custom forms.

No. You need to use the same version of outlook and word to print from
contacts.

Can you explain how I do this?

The principal of custom forms I understand.

I don't see a function similar to the old dBase Day(date()) function.

Outlook/Word/Office versions must match for any office automation such as
mail merges, send to from Office programs, etc. No workaround as each
version has specific functions that exist only in that version.
