Hi
so you want a CTI solution? Never did this with Excel but as so many
things it should be possible :)
- First it depends on your telephone system. What telephone solution
are you using
- If this is a professional telephone solution the provider probably
has some tools to process the caller-ID. This should have an open API
which should be accessible via Excel / VBA

The main issue is there's no standard for this caller-ID. So it depends
on your telephone installation in most cases. What are you using
exactly?
