I am using microsoft outlook, contacts. We have more than 4,000 entries. I
would like to give numbering for each & every entry like 1, 2, 3, 4.

Can you plz advice me.
 
Nothing like that is built into Outlook. If you need a sequential number, not just a unique number, here are some methods you can use:

1) Use an autonumber table in SQL Server or Microsoft Access. (In my programming book, Listing 23.7 with Listing 23.4 or 23.3 to open the database)

2) In a custom Outlook form, republish the form after each use to reset the number. See http://www.outlookexchange.com/articles/ricardosilva/vbscriptoutforms.asp

3) Use an Excel worksheet that contains VBA code to increment the number. See http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...sers&mid=5489e140-9794-41b7-a9ba-1324e136ff3a
