The only software I have so far are MS Word, Excel,Powerpoint, Access and Outlook. Can anyone tell me how I can create a telephone directory with the software I have or which software I would need to create one. I am pretty good with VBA and VB.

It all depends on the output needed. If your customer(s) all have Access, that would be a nice and easy place to do things. It allows for multiple ways of creating and organising the output, plenty of search tools etc.
If not everyone has Access,then maybe anything that creates HTML could be a good solution, provided that the goal is that your directory is accessible on-screen.
And for a printed version Word will give you more flexibility, but again Access is better for maintenance of yourdatabase.
So, as so often in this IT world, the question is not "What do I have", but "What do I need".
