Assuming you are planning to use Access, you start by deciding what you
want data you want to store and how you might want to find, display, report
and edit it.

The type of things you need to consider would include relationships
(brother son daughter etc.) Duplicate names (two John Smiths) titles (Mr.
Dr. etc.) Multiple phone numbers (cell, home work....) and many others.

Unless you have thousands of contacts I think a simple list of names and
numbers in Excel would suffice.

Of course in Excel you would run into problems formatting phone numbers
properly, but that is solved by formatting the phone number cells properly.
