Help,
I'm using Business Contact Manager 2007 and viewing "Accounts". One wants to
customise a tabular data view of accounts information. There are a number of
ways of acheiving this but the main ones are documented here:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook/HA101209011033.aspx?pid=CH100777471033#1

However, I'm think I've found a big bug (or I'm dong something very wrong)
whenever I go into edit an existing "View" (Even one that I previoulsy
created myself), after clicking away (say by clicking on the email inbox)
and back again, the view reverts to the fields that were originally in that
veiw.

Another way of showing this is when you drag the fields /columns you don't
want away from the table (this removes the field from display), but whne you
click away and read email, and then come back to the BCM view again, it goes
back to how it originally was created.

The only way I can actually create achevive a customissed view is to build
one from scratch.

What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug? The behaviour does not seem logical
and I have followed MS instructions.
Note also originally this behaviour was reported to me on someone elses
system but I was soon able to replicate it.

Thanks in advance

Hi D Smithze,

I did the following:

1. Set the view to Business Cards
2. Created two business contacts
3. Changed the view to Address Cards
4. Click on the Mail button, read an e-mail
5. Come back to the Business Contacts folder

The view is still Address Cards.

If this is not the repro you are seeing, please correct the steps.
