Different Business Contact Lists in BCM Glen 3/5/2007 7:01:05 PM I used to keep separate subfolders in Outlook with different groups of contacts for each of my different territories. I want to drive everything out of BCM so I am not using Outlook Contacts anymore and just want to use BCM Contacts. Any suggestions on the best way to do this since it appears I cannot create subfolders in BCM? Thanks!!!

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM Loren P 3/5/2007 10:18:08 PM I am not sure if I am talking about the same thing or not. I want to know how to make the BCM the default contact manager for outlook 2003, instead of the "contact manager" file that currently exists separately from BCM. All other aspects of outlook default to contact manager to get contacts and I would like them to default to BCM. Any ideas? Also, if I can make BCM my default contact location, can I than sync these with my treo like I currently do with the existing default contact manager or do I need a windows mobile based pocket PC?

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 3/6/2007 2:24:20 AM Loren, You can sync to your Palm OS Treo by using an excellent third party sofware called Pocket Mirror Professional from Chapura. www.chapura.com. They also have an additional full featured app called Key Suite that works well with the BCM Contacts record folder. -THP Loren P wrote: [Quoted Text] >I am not sure if I am talking about the same thing or not.

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM BorisS 3/6/2007 7:04:28 PM To address Loren's other point, is there a way to get the default contacts to come from BCM? I have the same frustration as I would guess Loren and others do, which is that I see the functionality of BCM, but need it to be more integrated. Also, if I have a Windows Mobile phone, does that solve any problems, for which I am guessing you directed Loren to Pocket Mirror? If the answer is that I need a new version of BCM or something, would appreciate knowing that as well. I am happy to upgrade to 2007 if it solves this problem for me. -- Boris "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Loren, > > You can sync to your Palm OS Treo by using an excellent third party sofware > called Pocket Mirror Professional from Chapura. www.chapura.com.

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 3/6/2007 10:35:12 PM BorisS, There is a Mobile BCM download available from MS for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Chapura's Pocket Mirror Professional is also available for WM 5.0. -THP BorisS wrote: [Quoted Text] >To address Loren's other point, is there a way to get the default contacts to >come from BCM?

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM BorisS 3/21/2007 4:48:20 PM 2 questions. First, where is this download available? Second, assuming I am on a hosted exchange solution, does that put me out of the running for having the BCM DB info stored in one central location (assuming that my hosted exchange service is only setup for regular exchange contacts)? Am I SOL? Thx. -- Boris "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" wrote: [Quoted Text] > BorisS, > > There is a Mobile BCM download available from MS for Windows Mobile 5.0 > devices.

Re: Different Business Contact Lists in BCM "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 3/21/2007 5:02:54 PM Boris, To borrow your phrase, you are SOL. The exchange info is for your native Outlook Contacts folder items only. Exchange does not interact with the separate BCM SQL contact db. For too many years now MS has been mistakenly assuming that most BCM users do not need to have remote access their BCM data from a remote location. That is starting to show signs of change with the new Office Live so stay tuned. For your other issue of being able to synch to your Smart device, the link to this download is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7bc78c14-7143-41d9-84a9-bd628db7b6a0&DisplayLang=en
