Outlook itself is not a relational database and, thus, would require a lot of development work to adapt to this scenario. You might want to take a look at Business Contact Manager or dozens of other CRM applications that have Outlook connections; see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contact_management.asp
Also, custom forms are a development dead-end; the better approach would be to use the form regions introduced in Outlook 2007.
