3.Using a form created in My Contacts in Business Contact Manager

Hi. I am using Outlook 2007.  

I created a custom form in My Contacts that I would like to use in my 
Business Contacts within the Business Contact Manager.  The form is published 
to my personal forms library.  When I attempt to set this custom form as the 
default form for my Business Contacts, I get the following error:

'Could not complete the operation becuase the service provider does not 
support it.'  

Is there any way around this? Thanks.

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.
