  • 1. How do I get my incoming mail delivered to BCM instead of Outlook
    I set up outlook, then desided to use BCM. All my mail was imported into the personal folder in outlook. 2 things. 1. How do I get my new mail to go to BCM? Do I need to creat an INBOX there? 2. How do I moove my mail and other items from Outlook to BCM? -- Thank you Bill
  • 2. archive BCM items
    i remember in the beta i tried to archive some bcm items and i was in the dialog and set it, but then notheing vere happened. then someone told me that while the choice is there, archiving is really for outlook items, and bcm items are not archivable, even though the option to specify archiving settings seems to be still there for BCM folders. is this still true? if yes, is there a workaround? and if yes, why allow archiving for outlook but not bcm? if no, how do i do it? thanks, and sorry for te ineptitude here
  • 3. Importing ACT ver 7 to BCM 2007
    We purchased 2007 Ultimate, but I am currently running a trial version while our copies are being shipped. We currently use ACT ver 7.0.4.82 and would like to migrate to BCM. Outlook appears to have a migration wizard, but it does not work. We get error "The specified file is not a vaild database for the currently installed version of ACT (7). If the file is a database from a prior ACT version, it can be upraded by opening the database in ACT." Guranteed, the file I have selected to migrate is a current database. What's the problem? I called MS pre-sales (don't have my valid copy yet) and get mixed stmts (trial version has limited capabilities) - is this true? I read the postings on BCM here and have a growing feeling that I am facing an avalanche of problems by upgrading. When I was lucky enough to be assigned a support case with MS, the tech was not able to help me because of newness of product and lack of trainning. My company is small, but we're still looking at spending over $6k to upgrade. Really, can BCM import ACT 2005 ver 7 database? Is it stable? What's the story on BCM sluggish performance (We have that with ACT on new core 2 pcs and want to get rid of problem)? Any other current users have comments for or against office 2007?
  • 4. Business Contact Mngr addresses don't open: matrixindex problem
    My Business Contact Manager addresses don't always open. i get the message that the boundaries of the matrixindex were exceded. after clicking OK the address then appears in an Outlook form rather than BCM. when i close and restart Outlook, the problem sometimes disappears.

Is there a way to configure Outlook 2007 to add new contacts to Business 
Contacts in Business Contact Manager instead of Contacts when right clicking 
on the email address in an email?

Hi

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, Outlook does not support right 
clicking on an email address and adding it as a Business Contact in lieu of a 
Outlook Contact. However, you can add it as a Outlook Contact, then simply 
drag and drop that contact from the Outlook Contact folder to the Business 
Contact folder and it will automatically make the necessary changes to become 
a Business Contact.

Thanks,
Monica Tsang [MSFT]

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.
