Outlook Call report - please help

[Chris]

Hello. In outlook, I am trying to develop a custom view called "Call Report." My company requires a call report and currently employees are filling out the call report manually, even though many use outlook calander to organize appointments, etc. The call report view is setup as a table showing things such as start time, location, subject, duration, categories, label. We have our contacts filled out with full name, job title, company, etc, and I need the contact name, job title, and company to be in the call report view as a field. I can get the field into the call report by modifying and then selecting fields, but the list does not populate based off contact information. Can someone help? Thanks.

I see people are viewing my post, but no replies. Does my explanation make sense?? Let me know if it doesn't and I can try to explain it again. Thanks again!

Without programming there's no way. Outlook doesn't query any informations
from a linked contact. (Imagine, you add more than one contact to the Links
field, what should Outlook display?)
