I am looking for a mod that creates a list with fields such as:
Name, Address, Phone Number, Profession, etc and be exportable to excel and normal user have the ability to add and edit entries. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks<

There used to be a phone directory MOD (or something along those lines) for 3.4.03 (or thereabouts). I think its still on www.snitzbitz.com - it can probably be updated for the latest version without too much trouble.<

Yes, i saw that before. It converts the member Table into phone directory. The trouble with the mod, it requires replacing my existing files, which are heavily changed already. I wanted this list mod to be stand alone rather using the members Table :-)<

If you create it as a stand-alone mod which doesn't use the Member Table, one or the other will always be out-of-date. Members will edit one & think it's fixing both, that's virtually guaranteed.
However, if you want to live with always having to compare one against the other, it wouldn't be too difficult. It could be created to originally pull the data from the Member table & afterward allow each member to edit their own data only.
As far as being exportable to Excel, it need only create the data in columnar format that could be saved to a txt file or even copied from the screen.<

Thanks Carefree. May be I did not clarify what I am looking for. The list will be used for a specific purpose outside the forum. I want to gather information on certain kinds of people with similar interests. They could be members and they could be non-members. A member can list someone who is not a member with their permission of course. This really has nothing to do with the members Table. A column format is great. Yahoo groups have something similar under database, where you can create a list and specify the fields you want to include in the list.<

If you have a copy of Excel 2003 (this option went away in 2007's release) available, you can create an interactive spreadsheet which can be exported to the web. Then, simply give the users the address and let them complete their own info. That approach will allow all members to see everyone's data, though - may not match your/their needs.
From within the board, can make a new table with all the fields that you want to include; let each user (not necessarily associated with the board) add their own information without having access to everyone else's. Do an if/then check on whether a name has been submitted already, if so, allow edit, if not, prompt to provide other info.
If you want something like the second option, I can write it up for you.<
