Domestic Version - Contacts

[Ivee]

Not everyone using Outlook are businesses. A domestic version of Contacts
would very welcome. It would contain 2 types of contact forms: Personal or
Family and Business. The Personal would be listed by family or household
name (including 1 or 2 adult names, would include information for 2 adults
(or the option of 1 or 2 adults), home phone & address, contact information
for each adult - work info, etc., a tab (or more) for personal info - kids
names, others in the household, birthdays for all, anniversaries, space for
whatever information for each person. The Business would be similar to the
contacts, but include Category (plummer, electrician, doctor, etc.) and have
this be included in the options for List As, so that you could list:
Category, Business Name, Contact Name, or any combination and order prefered.
Each new Contact version becomes more complex, and less friendly for
domestic users. Please consider adding this option.

You already have the option to customize the Contact form to suit your purposes. Why should Microsoft make a custom form that surely 90% of the people would find fault with or want other options/inclusions?

That is the beauty of Outlook - you can make any form you want and Microsoft even provides the tools to do so. Jump in with both feet - Tools->Forms->Design a Form. Remember, F1 is your friend.
