Please excuse the following being cross-posted also in the Outlook.General
newsgroup, but I discovered the Outlook.Contacts newsgroup after making my
original posting and I suspect my question has a better chance of being
answered in this group.

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but either I'm being dim or
haven't found it yet.

I am wanting to store custom data in my contacts that relates to their
company rather than the people as individuals. This is for the purpose of
tracking the status for each of the companies represented in our contacts
folder. Of course I could store this "status" information in each of the
contacts representing a company, and do it that way, but that would mean
going around an updating every contact in the same company should the
company status change.

I won't to be able to set or change the status once and then be able to see
that information in whatever contact belonging to a company I open. It would
also be very useful to able to see the current status for all companies
represented in the contacts folder for reporting purposes.

Is any of this possible?

TIA, Peter
