MS Office Forum / Outlook / Business Contact Manager / August 2007Contact via email direct to "business Contacts" - How
Hi there, When someone new emails me using Outlook 2007 (had same problem in previous versions) if I want to be able to add their email address to contacts, it only gives me the option to add them to the general contacts. Not directly to the BCM business contacts. This is a bit annoying as then I have to find them in the normal contacts and drag them over. Is there a way to add directly to business contacts? Thanks BCM is crap product -- would expect MS to be issuing fixes daily -- see no point im paying for such a crap product > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks I would like the answer to this too. Anyone got the answer? > BCM is crap product -- would expect MS to be issuing fixes daily -- see no > point im paying for such a crap product [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Thanks Highlight the email, then click Email Auto Linking. You'll see their email address in the list. Check the email address, click OK, and it will create a BCM contact record for that email address.

The first is that in the US we're so fixated on our cars that we now link our email to them. Email arrives into the radio via WiMax or satellite, is translated to speech, and spoken to us while driving like a bat out of hell. Microsoft added this to BCM to test out how we react to being linked to email ALL the time. Second answer: It's a button on the toolbar that sits there patiently waiting for someone to click it, then post a question on this discussion group. Hope that helps, Lon <smile> ___________________________________________________________ Lon Orenstein pinpointtools, llc Lon@pinpointtools.com Author of Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager For Dummies Author of the eBook: Moving from ACT! to Business Contact Manager 800.238.0560 x6104 Toll Free (U.S. only) +1 214.905.0401 x6104 www.pinpointtools.com > Hi - > Sounds like you found an anwser - but [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >>>> > >>>> > Thanks |
