When any user attempts to change an existing contact's details in bcm2007 and then try to 'save & close' contact we get a message 'BCM cannot save this item because it does not recognise some of the properties' THis message occurs even if we only try to edit a phone number and save the change.

Customizing task view within project form

I've followed Clinton Ford's instructions to customize the projects and tasks on the BCM home page and it works great. Can someone tell me how to do the same thing on the project form itself? The list of tasks always returns to the original view - which doesn't even show due date. I can't seem to locate how to get the changes to the view to "stick" in that form. Thx...
Suggestions for BCM SP2
joneskh
0 / 4 10 Jul 2008
11. Add the ability to create "templates" for sets of tasks. For example, in real estate, when you get a contract, you almost always have to follow the same basic set of tasks (with a few minor modifications) to get the contract to closing. It would be nice to be able to set up a "template" for those tasks and then add them to a project. It's very time consuming to type in the...

Remote User Sync Issues

I have a remote user who is having problems synchronizing his offline database. If he makes 5 changes and the syncs over a VPN, it appears to complete the sync process. He then makes 5 more changes and it will attempt to sync all 10 changes. If he later makes 5 more changes, it syncs 15 changes... and so on. The changes appear to be updating the master database on our server, but it...

Outlook 2003 w/BCM & Outlook 2007 w/BCM - compatible?
magnus
0 / 5 09 Jul 2008
We have a similar problem. The "server" is running BCM version 2003, but we have clients using either 2003 or 2007. I thought that 2007 would be compatibel with older versions, ie 2003, and that a 2007 client could use a 2003 server (but not vice versa). From your reply it seems that we need to choose between either keeping 2003 for all clients or upgrading all clients to 2007 at...

BCM is an addon to Outlook, the data is not stored in Exchange but rather a SQL 2005 database. If you set up a main BCM database most likely on your database server each of the client machines with Outlook BCM installed can synchronize their data with the main database to maintain up-to-date customer information. BCM is basically another set of data files within Outlook that has...
