Scheduling a meeting with multiple contacts. This is done in the meeting
record's window by clicking the contact button. Contacts must be selected
from a scroll down list which takes forever with a large contact data base.

Why not open the address book after clicking the contact button and let us
add contacts by typing in a few letters of the contact(s) name(s) to select
and add them to a meeting in Outlook.

Open a new appointment. Fill in the details. Use the "Invite Attendees"
button to display the TO: button. Press the TO: button. In the next
window, type in the first few letters of your contacts name (last or first,
depending on how you have the contacts displayed) and it will automatically
go to the closest it can find for that name. Place that person in the
Required or Optional field as required. Repeat for all attendees.

You can also use the Control Button to select multiple people to add to
either the Required or Optional attendee field.
