Outlook 2007 - BCM - Create Contact from existing company?
by YWx1bWludW1wb3Jr » Mon, 26 Feb 2007 06:59:05 GMT
Hello, I was just wondering if there is a way to create a contact from an
existing company in the Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager. Outlook 2003
BCM had it and it was great time saver. Adding all of my business cards from
trips now is almost unbearable as I have to enter all of the information
manually each and every time.
Any replacements for this? Is it just really hidden or just a missing feature?
Thanks for any advice.

In the mail Outlook window you can choose Actions-> New contact from Same
Company

Yea, that's the way it was in 2003, but as soon as you select the Business
Contact Manager in Outlook 2007, that option disappears under Actions. It
re-appears in the regular contact manager.

Sorry, I didn't realize that there was actually a BCM section and so posted
this question original in Outlook General.

2.Create New Contact from Same Company in BCM?
I am a recent newcomer to Outlook 2007 and Business Contact Manager (BCM).
While working with my "Contacts" I am able to create a new contact from the
same company as one of my exisiting contacts. This is simply done by
selecting the existing Contact, and then selecting "Actions", followed by
"New contact from same company".
I can't figure out how to do the same thing within BCM. Any suggestions?

4.BCM 2007 Contacts Not Integrated With Existing Mobile Phone Contac
1. Installed BCM 2007 For Outlook 2007 on Wndows Vista
2. Created Accounts and Business Contacts in Outlook BCM
3. Installed outlook add-in and BCM software for Windows Mobile device
4. Performed synch.
I can now see my business contacts on my "Windows Mobile 5" phone (HTC P3300
in this case) if I start the "Business Contacts" application on my
phone...BUT...
a) None of the contacts are available using the normal dialling methods on
my phone (e.g. by opening the pone dialler and starting to type the persons
name). Instead I have to start the "Business Contacts" application on the
phone and make the call using that app.
b) If i get a call from one of my busness contacts, their name is not
displayed on the phone to identify the caller. I therefore cannot easily
identify missed calls as being from my business contacts, or screen out calls
that I know i can get back to later.
Both of these points make the synchronized data pretty useless in that it is
now HARDER to communicate with my business contacts than if they had been
simple contacts in MS Outlook that had been synchd with the phone.
Anyone have a reasonable solution this this problem?
5.existing BCM 2003 & trial BCM 2007
I probably have a basic question, but still need to know the answer:
I have two users on my laptop. User #1 and user #2 are currently using 2003
BCM. I am about to download the free trial of Office 2007 primarily to check
out BCM 2007 for user #1. However, I see a note warning current BCM 2003
users that they will need to uninstall BCM 2003 and this has me
worried...both for user #1's existing BCM data but especially for user #2's
existing BCM data. If I go through with this, can someone assure me not to
worry and/or give me the solution? Can user #1 try out 2007 and user #2 still
use 2003? And if I chicken out, can user #1 go back to 2003 without issue?
Thanks for your help.
