What is "IM address" field in new BCM 2007 for? Does it work at al
sunorain 5/9/2007 10:54:03 AM
I tried to enter some hotmail addresses (used for MSN chat) into IM adress
field available in new BCM for Outlook 2007.
But this information is not saved when form is closed.
Is this field meant for something else?

I think it's meant for instant messaging, so it definitely should be
possible to add a hotmail address. I just tried that, and it worked fine
- the value has been saved. :)

best regards,

I swear - not in my case.
I add hotmail address to IM address field and press "Save and close". When I
open this contact again - IM address field is clear and empty.

Amendment - upon your information I tried it on another system. On primary
system where this glitch observed, Outlook 2007 with BCM has been installed
on top of Outlook 2003 with BCM.

I tried on clean system, where Outlook 2007 installed from scratch and BCM
database created anew from scratch (not imported) - and bug does not exist
there - IM address has been saved.

So it's probably some kind of issue with updating Office 2007 over Office
2003 components. I will check additionally by importing existing database
into "fresh" system.

Well, it looks like a bug related to update of BCM 2003 to BCM 2007. Since
it's not present on BCM 2007 DB created from scratch, I'll open new topic
here
