Luther,

She had not made any changes to that particular contact.  All she did was 
import all the contacts from an Excel list a day before.  Then I received the 
cell phone number for a client and typed it into the field - hit save and 
close and it gave me the error.  I went to her machine and we added the cell 
phone number and it accepted it.

Thanks

2.BCM cannot save the item-it cannot recongnize some of the properti

I have Vista/Outlook 2007/BCM 2007 with Customizations + SBA integration.  
When I try to create a record I receive "Business Contact Manager cannot save 
the item because it can not recongnize some of it's properties."  

Everything worked for a while just fine.  But now I cannot create Accounts, 
Business Contacts, Business Projects, Opportunities, or really any record at 
all no matter how I attempt to do so.  Copy from Contacts folder doesn't 
work.  Manually adding them doesn't work, etc..

After long trail and error (breaking the SBA/BCM integration, deleting all 
customizations, backing up and restoring various bcm and bcmx files)  I have 
completely removed the database, uninstalled BCM 2007, Re-installed BCM 2007 
and started from scratch.  Once I re-installed I began to customize the forms 
and after that created a few Accounts and several Business Contacts to test.  
Everything worked.  I ran SBA/BCM integration and all worked.  I continued to 
add Accounts and Business Contacts.  Then I closed SBA or Outlook/BCM (I am 
not sure which one was the cause) later to re-open Outlook/BCM I received the 
error no matter what I try?  I even speculated that the SBA/BCM integration 
required both programs to be open at the same time in my desperation  :-(

I believe that BCM customized forms are somehow affected (influenced) by 
SBA/BCM integration.  Is this true?  Is it documented?  And if so is there a 
way to have both SBA and BCM with "customized forms"

3.BCM contact open error "string was not recognized as a valid b

Sat,
I cannot open or even right click the disfunctional contact in BCM. The 
contact happens to be me (?!) I do have a copy of the contact I had copied to 
the regular contacts folder that works ok. The BCM copy used to work fine. I 
did integrate BCM with Accounting 2008 and this is one of the few contacts 
that would be affected. I suspect this is the problem. 

I could just delete the BCM contact and copy in the regular contact, but I 
am concerned that there may be a systematic problem that affects other 
contacts or will recur. What do you recommend?

4.BCM contact open error "string was not recognized as a valid boole

Outlook 2007 BCM fails to open one specific contact with the error "string 
was not recognized as a valid boolean." This contact has worked properly 
before. Other contacts open fine, although I have not tried every contact. 
Everything else appears normal. I ran the database defrag/error check and 
received no complaints, but nothing was repaired. How do I repair this (and 
possibly other) contacts?

5.(revised) INSTALL BCM - uninstall BCM - install BCM - still no BCM

An Addendum - 10 minutes later) 
I just went into the DATA FILE MANAGEMENT setting on OLK (outlook) and added 
BCM.  Like before - it installs it but there is NO TOOLBAR so I cannot 
restore - move - or add contact to my old BCM contact database. (from a 
previous version of outlook).  SO - my problems are reduced to ADDING THE BCM 
TOOLBAR to the top of my OUTLOOK 2003 window.
I have the OUTLOOK CONNECTOR showing but no BCM.  thanx again - in advance -
