Working with Data
Microsoft
Outlook is a database. The previous lessons demonstrated how to
create E-mails, Meeting Requests, Contacts, and Tasks. Each folder--the
Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes--is a separate Table. These
records of time and talent can be used to manage projects and coordinate
departments. For example, the time our County Sheriffs spend assisting
the local townships is tracked in Outlook. This information is then
exported to Microsoft Excel and used to prepare budgets and grants.
So, the last
lesson in our Complete Guide to Outlook looks at ways to Search the
folders and export the data into Microsoft Excel.
