Re: Outlook Business Contact Manager: Contacts vs. Business Contacts

The records in your Contacts folder and Business Contacts are totally separate entities. They also use different forms to display data. There is no synchronization between them, by design.
When creating a new contact, you should be able to use File | Move to Folder to save it to the BCM Business Contacts folder.

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.

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?
3.Business Contact Manager vs Outlook Contacts
Is there any way to mirror BCM with Outlook Contacts. I like the
functionality of BCM but it would be better in they were Outlook Contacts.
They would come up easily in my phone instead of having to lauch a program.
And they would be able to come up in Outlook Web Access.
I've tried copying and pasting into Outlook Contacts but if updates happen
they obviously don't update.
