Any folder view shows only the data in that folder, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add fields from different types of items in the folder. What you want to accomplish would require custom VBA code.

thanks sue
I am really having a hard time, trying to do the things that I can do in my
current software(Now Contact) and trying to figure out how to do them in
Outlook. How do I find out how to do a custom vba code? I would like to have
a daily phone call list. I sometimes have 30 or more calls to make and it is
tedious to try and type in each company name and phone number.
