Create Outlook Properties Tab checklist allowing querying of title

[DaveDMan62]

I currently use Outlook 2003. I work for the NYC Dept of Education (NYCDOE).
Many users at the DOE have many additional job duties for which exist many
"subtitles." Microsoft should build a query function in Outlook that would
allow list(s) to be retrieved using the checked boxes in a Tab containing
"subtitles" chosen by the users or assigned by the Email Administrator. This
query/list would allow the list to be printed providing profile information:
Full Name, Address, telephone, etc.., or used as a mail merge data form, or
to generate an email. Outlook would automatically generate on an annual
basis an email to each member asking them to authenticate their current job
sub-titles (and Main One as well). This Tab may or may not be included in the
Contacts function. This would assist in maintaining up-to-date Distribution
lists, assist in emailing co-workers by areas of responsibility.

This is the kind of thing you can build for your specific organization with custom Outlook forms and add-ins. Since it is not a generic function that would apply to the majority of Outlook users, it would be best handled with a custom application.
