| Matt, you need to save your spredsheet or workbook as a .csv, comma seperated
values, and title each column exactly the way it is in Outlook. You can get
the Outlook titles by first exporting the information you currently have and
save it as a .csv.

Try this -- click on an email in your Inbox from a vendor. Click on the

says Business Projects that will show a list of your projects. Choose the

| Unfortunately, no -- the data was discarded when the error occurred.
Apparently, the glitch must have caused BCM to interpret all the newer data
as records in the host db that had been removed on the next successful sync,
and then deleted it from the offline db.
Exporting is a good idea though, in case I encounter an error like this
again.
