| Hi Luther
Thanks for your reply. Wouldn't you know it - it works now!! Between now
and when I put the note into this discussion group, I did a reinstall of BCM
2007 because Outlook kept crashing. As a result of doing the reinstall, it
must have fixed it. I guess the lesson learned - don't underestimate the
benefits of doing a reinstall.
Cheers

While working with my "Contacts" I am able to create a new contact from the
same company as one of my exisiting contacts. This is simply done by
selecting the existing Contact, and then selecting "Actions", followed by
"New contact from same company".

Exactly what "general screen" are you referring to when viewing your contacts?
Your comments are too vague to generate effective help here. Are you viewing
your Business contacts in a folder view? Are you viewing them as listed
under a consolidated Account record view? Help us out here and maybe an idea
for how to fix can be forth coming.

It only took them a few years to release this lame solution! Your BCM
contacts are contained within a separate directory on your mobile device and
this has no support to work with your smart dialer. There is no smart, quick
