    Lightbulb Editing the Columns - similar to the OUTLOOK contacts editing

    Hello there techies.....Trust that all are in enlightened spirits....



    I have a contact list in Excel and has imported to Access Using Contact Template....and now there are around 3500 contacts. I need a contact card for each with the ability to update each field & also able to search and sort as well...

    a very similar to the way OUTLOOK contacts editing is all about.... Is there a possibility...

    Kindly assist me... and highly appreciated for your time..

    A 'contact card'? You could probably build a form that looks like a card and do filtering and searching and editing on the records. Can also build a report to display data and maybe in layout mode do some filter/search on the records.

    Building forms and reports is basic Access functionality. What exactly about the suggestion do you not understand?
