Hi Raul,

Thanks for your reply.

The problem with the solution you recommended is that the contact that is
created is created with the fields from Outlook, not Business Contact
Manager. (In other words, there are a number of fields which are available in
a BCM contact that aren't available in a standard Outlook contact.)

Any ideas how to work around this problem?

Thanks

Jeff
