I have a rather large contact list to create.  I'd like to do it in the
"Category" view because it's easier and faster.  I am unable to create
additional colums that are capable of accepting information...like:
"Address", "E-mail", etc.  Of course I can do it in "address card" view.  Why
not "category" view?  I can add the columns but they won't accept date.
Thanks.

From your description I am not sure exactly what won't work for you but
here's some tips:

Turn on the Advanced Toolbar.
Use the Field Chooser to drag additional Column headers into the by Category
view table that you like.  You don't need to make new fields, just show the
ones already in Outlook.

What does "won't accept date" mean?

Greetings down under Judy.  That last word should have been "data."  I did
the drag and drop thing you suggested but I'm unable to put data into these
newly added columns.  This happens only in "category" view.  Does this happen
to you?
Thanks, emlawpro
