As Herb implies, MDB is a type of Access format file. You will not be able
to open it in Word, other than through the mail merge tools - and maybe not
then if you open it and edit in Access. You should be able to edit it in
Access and you should be able to import it (as suggested by Herb) into
Outlook where it will be much simpler to maintain. If you don't want it
mixing with your usual contacts list, create a separate one for this list,
or use categories, and see
