Limiting Users Access to Business Contact Manager Contacts

1.Business Contact Manager 2007 Access Rights and user fields

Hi,
We evaluate the Business Contact Manager 2007, it does look and work not bad 
but we have some big problems finding standard features. Maybe me look at the 
wrong spot, we do hope someone could assist us to find a solution.
There are 2 things we try to figure out:

1. We need to assign user access rights that allow us to limit work group 
users to only see specific contacts and functions. For example we need to 
disable the reporting since only the management should see this also there 
should be a way to limit the user to contacts that have a specified fields. 
For example we could have a field saying "owner" and than specify a login 
filter to only show the user contacts that have a specified owner key. 
However other users could see all is not access rights limits are assigned.

2. It seems that Business Contact Manager 2007 is limited to 40 user defined 
fields, we have at least 90 of them that I need to import. I am amazed that 
there is a limit in a modern application like this. Surly there must be a way 
to increase this, maybe in the registry or somewhere else. Any tips are 
welcome. We would really like to give this a shot but we are amazed that 
these standard features are not easily found.

Best wishes,
Thom

4.Add contact to Business Contacts in Business Contact Manager f

If the manual way of doing it that Monica describes does suit your needs, 
there is a quick way to add a Business Contact from an e-mail.  Especially if 
you want to add many at a time, in a few clicks.  The method is a little 
obscure, but here is how:

1. In your inbox's list of incoming (or any other) mails, right click the 
e-mail.
2. Then select "E-mail Auto-link".
3. A dialog box pops up with all of the addresses in the mail.
4. The ones that you currently do not have a Business Contact for have 
"unknown" in the column.
5.  Select the one(s) you want to make into Business Contacts and click OK
6.  The Business Contact has been added, and will have its e-mail autolinked 
as well (which can then be turned off again if you don't want it).
7.  Now fill in the rest of the Business Contact information as appropriate, 
as Full Name and e-mail address are already populated in the Business Contact.

Thanks for your interest in Business Contact Manager for Outlook.
