Sheduling followup of contacts

Is there a easy way to schedule follow-up for contacts.
In Filemaker Pro I create a field and enter the date and when necessary sort by that field/date.
Is it possible in Outlook?
Thanks because it is really bugging me

What exactly are you trying to achieve? You want to be notified if someone 
hasn't replied to an e-mail you have send yet?
You can use the Follow Up Reminder Add-in for this from Sperry Software

If you decide to order use "BH93RF24" to get a discount

Hi Roady and thanks for the reply.
I would like to schedule my calls that I need to make.
Eg. I would like to call Linda on the 17th of July. Rather that go to the calender and place an entry in the 17th, can I create a field in 'contacts' that I can place July 17, 04 and then when July 17th rolls around, sort by that field and pull up all the calls I need to make for that day.
There must be a way :-)

Rather than go to July 17th on the calendar and end up with a whole host of entries for Linda nad the 30 or 40 other calls I have scheduled for that day, is there a way of creating a field in contacts that I can enter july 17, 2004 and then when the day comes around sort by that field and in doing so pull up all the calls I need to make for that day.
Sounds simple but I haven't been able to find anyone who can do it.
There must be a way :-)
Thanks again.

Why not just set a reminder flag on those contacts with a type of "Call"
and the date you wish the reminder for?

Hi Squats:
You can use the followup flag feature.  In the contact you see a red flag, click on it then you can schedule a followup for a call on a certain date and time.  Then at that designated time you will get a reminder if you have outlook open. Minimized is OK, you can be in anything else, just has to be open.
Hope this helps,

Marje, you did it!
You answered my age-old bug-bear of a question.
I'm impressed.

Now to part two... can you sort by that field as well?
Thanks :-)

You can sort or group by flags or add the reminder time field to the view. Use the customize view dialog to add the additional fields to the view. 

Hi Marje,
Now that I am using the followup flag feature, can I sort by the due date to view all up-coming calls needed to be made?

Handled!
I re-read all the posts and answered my own question.
Thanks for all your help because this is big for me.
God bless,
