Time Stamping - contacts and last correspondence

[BJ]

I like to always know when a particular entry was made. So if I have a
new contact, I can have some automatic process whereby when I hit
"SAVE" it will put a date somewhere .

Along those lines -- keeping the information regarding when I sent and
when they sent a message last is important. but it isn't included in
the DB or .vcf - I have to reload my 2200 contacts from time-to-time
and when I do, that data is lost. Is there another way to ensure that
I can keep this data?

TIA
