14 Jul 2009 |
| There is an option on the SAFE SENDERS tab to allow all mail from CONTACTS to
be considered SAFE. However, since all my contacts now reside in Business
Contact Manager, a lot of my email from my business contacts are being
treated as junk. Is there a way to point the SAFE SENDERS function to my

14 Jul 2009 |
| My business is direct sales / network marketing so most of my contacts prefer
me to use their home phone / home address for contacting them.
There is no option to include HOME PHONE in reports and no option to include
HOME ADDRESS.
I have worked around the HOME ADDRESS problem by listing HOME addresses
within Business Contact Manager as a BUSINESS address, but I would prefer not... |

| You can create distribution lists. Any lists that you already had will no
longer work as they are pointing to records in OUTLOOK and not in BUSINESS
CONTACT MANAGER. Simply reselect any names by using the BUSINESS CONTACT
MANAGER address book (rather than the CONTACTS address book) and it will work.
Any new distribution lists you set up just need the address book pointed to

Open the e-mail, select E-MAIL AUTO LINK, check the box then select OK. This
creates a BUSINESS CONTACT record within Business Contact Manager. Now, from

will automatically open the BUSINESS CONTACT. Now, just tidy up the... |

| Hello Luther
Your post is interesting, but sorry, I am a bit vague about those views you
mention. Does that mean that i can merely update an excel database and
import it to BCM and it will update fields but not overwrite or lose certain
data already in BCM?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks

| Hi,
I have just had a very frustrating day.
So far I have learned that BCM 2003 uses TCP port 56183 and that BCM 2007
uses TCP port 5356.
I have also discovered that BCM 2007 is hard coded to use port 5356.
Whenever I attempt to connect BCM 2007 to a 2003 shared database it reports
that it cannot connect. However, I can connect without problems using the

selecting all eg Ctrl A or Edit Select all. Then choose to create a
new message to business contact.

| I'll swear stuff I finally get Outlook/BCM to do works for a while and then

Anyone know how to do this anymore?
