I'm needing a freeware application that serves as an address book in
which I can keep several hundred entries for people including their
physical addresses, zip codes, children, spouses, etc, etc, and which
has the ability to add custom fields (such as "Member of ARA? Yes or
No", as well as the ability to generate lists of the entries in
customizable formats. Can anyone point me toward such an app?

How 'bout a small, simple, customizable database program?

Little Lists has been around forever. It's now been totally abandoned.
It used to be freely available from its developer, but no more:

Couple blurbs on these pages:

I didn't look long and hard, but didn't come up with a free download
site for it. The installer is "llistwin.exe" and is 1671KB on my
machine. If you are interested and can't easily find it, I can email it
to you or upload it to YouSendIt. Lemme know.

I found that if I went in to make changes after I had a few entries, it
would delete the bottom item from the list. Ouch!"

Thanks for the suggestion and doing a little looking around, Mark. Susan
seems to have found it, though. I'm downloading it now, and will give it
a spin to see if it suits my needs.

Thanks, Susan. And thanks for the heads-up on getting field sizes set
right the first time around.

Thanks, John. I found LittleLists to be satisfactory in most respects,
but not all. So, I'll give RedPhone a try.

Oh well. RedPhone is really designed for business contacts. (When
printing out records, it insists on listing business addresses as
primary and home addresses as secondary.) Also it doesn't allow for any
kind of customization at all (such as adding or renaming fields). And
there is no way to print out a hard copy of all of the information that
one has entered.
LittleLists was actually much more closely suited to my needs. Its worst
drawback was the inability to customize reports. It insisted on printing
all information for a single record on a single line, which generally
resulted in it becoming squished together and all garbled up.
Although my requirements for an address book are not really all that
much, I may have to end up using a full-fledged database program like
Access. It just seemed to me that there would likely be a freeware
application available to suit my needs. Perhaps not. :(
