creating a Christmas card register and mailing list

Has anyone developed a worksheet from any of the Office programs that could
be used as a Christmas card mailing list and checklist for cards
sent/received?

Thanks, I did look at those before I posted my message. Just was hoping that
someone had made one up.

Thanks. I have a little booklet that has a list of all the people that I have
sent cards to over the years. It lists names, addresses, phone, email, and
then 2 columns under each year (R/S) for received and sent. I have never
taken the time to set up any contact information in Outlook or anywhere else.
Thus, I am wondering where is the best place to add names, addresses etc. --
which program will give me the most flexibility in using the information. I
have not decided if it makes more sense to use Excel or Outlook or create a
database in Access. I think that is why I am not sure what to use as a
template. From this register, I will want to create address labels, and
probably add birthdays etc. to allow for further uses.
Thank you for asking.

You will probably want to setup a database since it will offer the most
flexibility.Try the personal address book database you can easily modify in
Access to accomodate the fields you require.

thanks Paul, I willl try out your suggestion. It helps me to know which
program to use so that I do not recreate the wheel, hate wasting time doing
that! I much prefer to use my time to adapt something that gives me a good
start.
