Yeah, I realize that asking any of you guide me through this kind of project would be asking way too much. That's why I said "point me in the right direction". I'd just like some recommendations as to what is required to setup something like this. The last thing I want is to slave over a setup for months only to realize that because of my initial lack of knowledge I should have done things differently. Maybe these questions can help clarify what I'm asking of you:
What are the cosiderations behind this? Should I use an Apache/PHP type config or maybe there's a client/server software I don't know of... Should I forget about importing from Outlook and start from scratch to ensure the db is clean? Maybe you know of something similar to MyGroupWare, phpGrouWare or moregroupware that only deals with contacts like some sort of glorified db driven Phonebook. I'm just looking for insight from people that know databases... that's all.
