BCM 2007 "ljr2u" <u47652[ at ]uwe> 11/19/2008 2:22:51 AM Question: Can you attach 1 contact to different accounts that you create. I use to use ACT and was able to tag contacts in multiple groups. Cannot seem to figure this one out. thanks, Larry

RE: BCM 2007 Smike 11/19/2008 10:12:01 AM I know what you mean Larry, since I used to use ACT! I think the answer to your question is no, because a field in the Business Contact form called 'Account', under the description 'Linked Account' offers one link only.

RE: BCM 2007 Smike 11/19/2008 5:11:02 PM Larry, I have checked this site: http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm which confirms my understanding and says the following under FAQ's: >>Can a Business Contact be linked to more than one Account? No, a Business Contact cannot be linked to more than one Account. A Business Contact can only be an unlinked stand-alone item, or linked to just one Account.<< "Smike" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I know what you mean Larry, since I used to use ACT! > I think the answer to your question is no, because a field in the Business > Contact form called 'Account', under the description 'Linked Account' offers > one link only. > > > "ljr2u" wrote: > > > Question: Can you attach 1 contact to different accounts that you create.

RE: BCM 2007 BgsDks 11/19/2008 11:29:01 PM Smike: You say that you used to use ACT!. What made you switch to BCM, and if it was your choice (rather than company mandated), are you satisfied with the switchover, or is ACT still a better choice? I'm using an old version of Goldmine right now, and looking for something to migrate to. I have ACT installed, and BCM installed, and am using both in parallel, but the navigation in BCM seems clunky. Trying to figure out whether it's something that I'm doing wrong, or the software just isn't as user friendly as ACT is...
