Sync BCM contacts with Outlook Address book
Tim
0 / 1 11 Feb 2009
As I'm sure is true with many SME's, I have many contacts who are friends as well as business contacts so need to appear in both the BCM address book and Outlook's. I sync my Outlook contacts with my phone (currently an iPhone but previously a BlackBerry), both of which only allow you to sync to a single address book (generally the default in Outlook). The issue I have is if I update...
BCM Freezes Outlook

0 / 1 10 Feb 2009
Running XP SP2, Outlook 2007 with BCM, have ALL recommended updates loaded. When I open BCM and click "Accounts", the first account name semi-loads, then the system freezes. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to close Outlook. Have searched the web, see many others with similar problems, but no resolutions. Have tried Microsoft product support page, but when asked for Product ID number, and I...

Hello, We are using BCM 2007 in our small office. Things generally work fine, but we are encountering an issue when editing contacts. This happens at random, but somewhat often: when clicking "Save & Close" on a contact, Outlook crashes, bringing up the Windows Error Report dialog. Any thoughts? Thanks, Gary...

I've created a Business Project, but I can't seem to show the linked account in the list page. I've tried adding almost every field with the "show field" command, but none seem to pull up the linked account. The "Company" field might work, but there is no way to enter a "Company" name on the Business account form....
Non-email Marketing Campaigns are brain-dead
Sohodojo Jim
0 / 1 10 Feb 2009
The enforced assumption that a list of accounts linked to a campaign is ONLY appropriate if the campaign is email-based is down-right arbitrary and undercuts the utility of this feature for real world applications. When creating a Marketing Campaign, ANY choice other than E-mail or Direct Mail Print results in the disabling of any radio button selection other than "Other" In the "Who...

New History Item in Opportunity: add email

0 / 2 09 Feb 2009
Michael and Mando, ABSOLUTELY. What an oversight. I can't believe that the "Communicate. New History Item..." choices don't include an email message. This is SO fundamental to client/customer relationships. Mukesh, this reasoning that the item isn't created yet seems strange. In many situations in database programming (especially on the no-long-lived transactions in web...
