manage files

[brccpl]

I have over 1500 email messages stored in outlook. Of these, 850
relate to one particular project and interaction. I need to sort these
and save in a way that I have an access to the info in a short notice.
Right now, I have saved these on a hard drive using file - save as
function and then i have created an excel file indexing these saved
files using hyperlink function (in excel). To these i have typed
physically (adjoining cells in excel) the dates of these files
(recieved or sent). I can now sort these date wise and file name wise.
Is there a better way to doing this. Or if this seems Ok can I
hyperling more that one file in excel ( this would make it less time
taking)

Regards

So why exactly did you take them out of Outlook in the first place?
Everything you want can be easily achieved when you keep these messages in
Outlook.

specifically, just make a new folder in Outlook, File/New/Folder, and move
the messages into it.
