please excuse me is this is an obvious question

I need to 'temporarily' import 150 or so contacts ( from a standard database) into my handheld for a 6 month marketing drive. After this period I will no longer need these contacts nor no longer want them in my handheld or outlook with which I am syncing .


What is the preferred way of handling this situation

thank you in advance

Michael

I would go about this way

-> import them to your outlook
-> assign them to a category (use any standard category, maybe "key customer"?)
-> you can then "filter" groups in the blackberry address book (click trackwheel, filter)
-> once the 6mth period has passed, delete all the addresses in the group (in outlook)

hope this helps

i will give it a try

thank you for answering

how do you assign them to a category - in outlook?

open the contact, then look for "categories" button in the corner right (in outlook 2k3)

if you view your contacts by list, you can see the Categories field
