There are two things I have not been able to do in Pocket Outlook
When I make a new contact on my smart phone I can not file it by the business name only by the persons name. I have to sync it to my desktop to change the way it it filed.
Second I haven't found a way to create an appointment from a contact in Pocket Outlook. Am i missing something?
Any suggestion on how to accomplish these two task would be appreciated.

Solution: Try the free trial of Pocket Informant which has the ability of reading both databases simultaeneously and crosslinking. i.e. opening either offers a link to the other. Say you were late for the appointment you could use the link to effieciently look up and call your related contacts.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at Pocket informant and was hoping i would not have to go to that extreme. Quite a learning curve for the program. Wanted something simpler. Does any one have any suggestions? Have just took look ant Agendus for Windows by iambic. Has any one used that program.

Jazzrome, On WM6.0 you can change the "File as:" field to company name after creating the contact. Regarding creating an appointment from a contact issue, you could do that by creating new appointment, clicking on Attendees edit box and then clicking on 'Add required Attendee...'. This will take you to contact chooser screen and you could select the contact you want. HTH.
