If you already have it in a formatted layout in MS-Excel, why not just leave it there?? And if I was going to have a contact list, then it would be done in MS-Access, where I would have separate Tables for the holding of information: • Companies/Names (primary table) • Physical Addresses (home, work, mailing, billing, etc.) • Telephone Numbers (home, work, fax, cell, etc.) • Email Addresses • Web Addresses • Etc... And by being in a database, it could exist on a server in a shared folder so that anybody could keep the data up-to-date. And everybody could use the database at the same time.
