crazy old man

I just unstalled business contact manager because it was causing more
problems that solutions and am using Outlook 2007 for my contact database. Is
there a way to sort the contacts in Outlook by zip code??

You can easily sort any list view of your Contacts by any field you have
added to the headers of that view.

I added a zip code field in the table view, but since the zip code in part of
the address field, how to get the zip code info into the zip code field I
created. I guess I can type in the zip codes for the 759 existing contacts.
Can a zip code field be added to the new contact form so that the zip code
can be inserted to the zip code field in the table??

The zip code does not appear in a separate field in the address. The address
sort starts with the street number then name. Can a separtate zip code field
be added to the new contact??

Sure. Look in customize view, Sort, Address fields.

Sorry about being a little dense, but I can't find field cchooser in the
contact database. I think it was availabel in the Business Contact Manager,
but not in the Contact Manager??

Zip code is a field that already exists and therefore can be added to the
column header using Field Chooser...

Or enable the Advanced toolbar and click "Field Chooser" there.
