Can Outlook display phone Caller ID

[Jim Walsh]

Outlook is a pretty versatile program. I know for example, that it can be
used as a phone dialer.

Does anyone know if Outlook can be configured to display the Caller ID of an
incoming call?

If not, does anyone have a suggestion of a program that can? Seems like a
pretty straight forward task.

Thanks,
Jim

Actually, it uses the WIndows dialer.

ID of an incoming call?

Not that I'm aware.

Google seems well-suited to answer this question.

Brian,

Thanks for your suggestions. I was just about to try Google myself. I will
give your group a try.

Brian,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.

I did download and install YAC. It works like a charm. Just what I was
looking for. Thanks for the suggestion.
