  • Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

    We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013.  Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
    Shows fields that don't exist etc.
    The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
    Chris Smith

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
    Then go to
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
    If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

  • How do I get to the contacts manager on VZW web site? I last used it months ago but it doesn't work now.

    A family member has an LG Revere flip phone, and when we need to add several or remove several contacts, it USED to be easier to go into the contacts management page on the VZW web site, but when I went to look tonight, it kept showing the Backup Assistant information for the wrong phone, and ONLY showing me the (nonexistent) contacts for that other phone. The Revere is the only non-smartphone on the account, so it's the only phone I have ever wanted to use the backup assistant and online contacts manager for.
    Now that I think of it, tonight it was also asking me to agree to use the Backup Assistant, which I thought was strange because (as I said) we were already using it for that one phone but not the others. But when i agreed it showed me the (default -- generic Verizon) contacts for MY phone, not the one I was looking for. When I have tried several different ways to get to the other phone information, I have been seeing more and more website errors.
    I guess there was a glitch somewhere... I will try again but I'm putting this out there in case someone has an answer.

    I have tried clicking all around and I cannot get to the contact manager at all anymore. Now when I click to it I go to My Verizon Online Sign In - Verizon Wireless (not sure if that link works here) and the web site says:
    You are seeing this page for one of the following reasons:
    1) The Sync & Connect feature does not appear on your account. To add this feature click on Home above, then click on the Change Features link.
    2) The Sync & Connect feature has recently been added to your account and the request is in process or pending completion. Please sign in again later.
    There's no "Home" or "Change Features" visible on that page. The more I do the stranger the site has gotten. This time it kept telling me I needed to sign back in, but then it would continue acting as normal (I AM signed in).
    I suppose there's a glitch.

  • How could I install outlook with business contact manager 2007 in windows 8.1 system?

    Recently I got a new 8 win pc, then I tried to instal Outlook with business contact manager 2007 but I couldn´t
    The reason: sql server is not compatible. Would you please let me know how to fix that problem?

    Hi CarlosZC,
    Since the issue regards Outlook with business contact manager 2007. I suggestion you post the question in the Outlook forums at
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=question&status=all&auth=1. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    According to your description, we need to verify the version of the SQL Server, usually the warning of compatibility issues applies to all SQL Server Express editions when installing Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2007 on Windows 7/8. The incompatibility
    was fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack1 and SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on Windows 7.
    There is a similar issue about compatibility message when installing BCM 2007 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.

  • How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

    I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
    of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
    make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
    BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

    Hi,
    If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
    Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
    You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
    Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database

  • ** CONTACT MANAGER and CONTACT CATEGORIES **

    I am a 9930 owner. Is there any discussion about fixing the Contact Manager in the new OS to include more of vCard fields as in BB OS version 7x and prior? We need Contact Categories field in the Contact Manager and the tight integration with MS Outlook(not limited cloud version of Outlook). For me the Blackberry Classic is not just about the keyboard. The superior business functionality (--in BB OS version 7x and prior--) of the Contact Manager set Blackberry apart from the rest. Please get this fixed. 
    Best regards,

    Yes yes and yes...hope you have better luck at getting some credible answers. I've been asking for same since the launch of OS10. Have yet to get any sort of formal response. I so miss some of the basic functions from OS7 !!

  • Best Contact Management Software for Mac

    I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere. Plus, I'm not sure if I'm even in the right place. But, can you tell me what contact management software works the best for Mac?
    Also, I'm new to using such software, is there anything specific I should be looking for when choosing one?
    Thanks!

    I'm sorry to say there isn't much around. It has been a bit of a weak spot for Mac / OS X for ages - but things are possibly improving.
    Any CRM solution for OS X needs really to co-operate with Address Book and iCal - so you can sync your stuff out to PDAs or whatever, and use them in Mail / iWork / Office 2008 etc. that are already written to work with such info in AB and iCal. If it doesn't, you end up with a closed-off app that can't easily work with you on the machine, and which then has to re-do code that already exists. Odd design constraints in earlier versions of iCal and AB made this harder - they were not very aware of other systems / apps. But this is changing in Leopard, and there are some promising things on the horizon (though none really useful solutions avail yet).
    Of those out there, probably the best notional app is (in my view) Now Software's Nighthawk (http://www.nowsoftware.com/nighthawkSubsite/index.html). It is written by a team with a solid track record of CRM development on Macs, and is apparently designed to play nice with iSync and the rest. Trouble is it doesn't yet exist - rumours of a public Beta have been out there for months, but the date keeps slipping. Could be a good thing, or signs of major problems - who knows. Realistically you'll not see anything commercially viable from them before April next year I reckon.
    But waiting could be good. The other attempt we've seen is SOHO Organizer by Chronos Software. (http://www.chronosnet.com/Products/sohoorganizer.html) In description it does the business - iSync / iCal / AB compatible. But it has had a troubled development, and there is lots of grim sounding reports of trouble with the app on the net. The developers are not very kind to themselves with not much disclosure and (at least last time a looked) a restrictive demo / preview policy (you get one trial period, and that's it, for ever! Even if they bring out a major version number change). My personal experience is that they tell a much better marketing story than they deliver in software - but I've steered clear of the app for a long time now (after a seriously bad experience) but who knows, they might well have caught up with their ambitions by now.
    There are many others about that are really central web-based systems - which is fine provided you don't want to use Mail / AB / iCal or sync any of this to your phone / PDA / .Mac or whatever.
    So, nothing much going on now. But ever hopeful...
    If anyone knows more / other stuff - would be good to know about. We're still travelling hopefully.

  • Has anyone found a good contact management program...

    I find the fields in the Nokia contact manger very limited. I have used Act 2000 for years and found it to have excellent contact management, in that you can create groupings for contacts. Outlook by comparison is only half cooked.
    There are excellent programms that link AC to PDA's , Companionlink is one such programme and converts all the detail you want and gives you a clever search choine, by contact name or by company name.

    Have a look at > Google Earth for OS X, good selection of features and great to print from.

  • Wanted: A contact manager/address book with a sense of time

    There is one feature which I didn't find in any contact management application out there, and which keeps me using paper-based solutions: A way to see how old old any specific piece of information is. Use case: „This phone number of X I wrote down/saved here, is it the most recent one, or am I risking calling the next tenant of the flat (who I really don't want to talk to for some reason)? When did I make this phone number entry?“
    I believe I have looked at almost any contact manager available in the Arch repos and the AUR, but I may still have missed one. If any of you know of a contact app with a sense of time, please speak up.
    Otherwise, maybe some of the developers among you also find that this feature would be nice to have, and feel inspired to code something. That would be great!
    If I had any say in the details, the data backend would be something easily accessible by other programs (text files, maybe vcard), it would integrate nicely with email clients for adding and completing addresses, and it would have a simple UI (don't care if graphical, console or pure CLI, as long as it works). For reference, I quite liked "contacts" from the Pimlico project, which doesn't seem to be developed anymore (project website is down). Also, osmo looks nice, although it is doing too many different things for my taste (contacts, calendar, tasks, notes).
    One way to implement this would obviously be to combine and integrate any app which saves its data in text files with a version control system like git. However, that might be overkill.

    You don't have to implement as much search logic, only a search mask and a result list.
    True.
    skanky wrote:Maybe the triggered script could then run "git blame" and insert the information into a custom field in the contact data file
    I wouldn't store the time info redundantly in the contacts file when it is already stored in the git repo. The frontend program can just call "git blame" at runtime to get the time info to be displayed.  Redundancy could lead to corrupt (contradictory) time data if something goes wrong in the saving process, and at worst, it might create an infinite loop (when the file is changed, "git blame" is called and the time info inserted into the file, which is thus changed, which triggers "git blame" being called again…)

    I'm kind of sad that the best / easiest / simplest solution so far sounds like just keeping a digital version of the original paper-based solution, AKA a plain text file. :/ Benefits over paper include being able to do a search and never having to wonder if that scribble was a "5" or a "6". :P
    Well, I'm not that sad I guess. I do love plain text. It never goes out of style! :D
    While I share to your sadness and your love for plain text, bare text files seem to lack certain features that I would consider crucial: MUA integration and easy grouping/tagging (or similar) of contacts. Both could of course be implemented as simple shell utilities operating on text files, and the result might be a really awesome contact managing solution…

  • Can I use Business Contact Manager in Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Pro?

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac and use the Office Suite for work, so I installed the Office 2011 for Mac. We use Business Contact Manager to manage our contacts and conversations at work (mostly for records of email exchanges and phone conversations), but I can't seem to figure out a way to install that add-on in the Mac version of the Office Suite. Any suggestions?

    Why would you use two?
    It is much cheaper and better to simply use a usb drive..
    The TC cannot be linked to store files or automatically back them up.. whereas a usb drive at least will be backed up by Time Machine.
    If you want to do this properly get a real NAS.. that has mirrored drives and real rsync type backup. You can use an airport extreme for wireless.
