MS Office Forum / Outlook / Business Contact Manager / January 2008Deleting a contact record
I am evaluating making a switch from my current contact manager software to Outlook 2007 w/BCM that came with my recent purchase of MS Office. For testing purposes, I've created about 10 "Contact" records and 350 "Business Contact" records. Can anyone tell me why there is no "Are you sure? ..... Yes ..... No" warning that appears after you click on Delete Item? Especially considering that Delete Item is sooooooo close to Copy To Folder ... on the Edit Menu. Is there something I'm supposed to have turned-on to engage the warning? Surely there has to be a warning ..... right? I mean losing an entire Business Contact record with it's history just because of an errant slip of the mouse pointer is pretty devastating. Thanks! You're right that it doesn't ask but it doesn't delete it completely either. Look in Deleted Items under the Business Contact Manager folder on Folder List (CTL+6). You can drag and drop it back into the BCM Contacts (or other appropriate folder) and it will restore.

We've considered this kind of thing in the past. There was a post in the newsgroup already that says "Why do I have to confirm XYZ"? So, people want it both ways! :) You're right, it can be warm-fuzzy, but can also get annoying. We've also discussed a "Never ask me again" kind of checkbox. All these things are being considered for future versions! Chris [msft] Thanks for response. I think the "Never ask again" checkbox in the Warning window is a good compromise. As long as you give a way to turn it back on, especially if the PC owner is sharing their PC with others at some point. Rick > We've considered this kind of thing in the past.
