Displaying Contacts in Calendar View

[Wayne]

Help! I have started using Outlook 2003 for my appointment calendar. I have
a limited number of clients who have regular appointments.

Naturally, I type the name of the client in the Subject field so it displays
on the calendar. However, I also need to add the client to my contact list
and link the contact to the appointment.

This requires several steps. Is there a way to have the contact show on the
appointment box in the calendar view? This seems too obvious a feature to
have been neglected but I can't figure out how to do it.

Alternately, is there a way to make an automatic link to the contact from
the text in the subject view without having to search for the contact in the
contact screen?

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

You can just type the contract's name in the contact field - no need browse
for it.

Thanks, I see that now. Even part of the name with match contacts in the
list, although it seems it will not add a new contact to the list.

Is there any way to get the contact name to display in the calendar
appointment window without retyping it in the "subject" field?
