We have two salesmen working from laptop and one from a desktop.  If we
install BCM on the server everyone can share it when on the network or over a
VPN.  However, if the salesmen are disconnected from the network, (that is on
the road or plane) can they still open the contacts, ...

WHY OH WHY is it not possible to email a client regarding an opportunity
directly from the opportunity window with the new history item button?

I have a situation with merging various email accounts into MS Outlook '07.

The real world requires me to first set up "business contacts" during the
sales process before they become "customers" for the accounting department to
bill, etc.
My suggestion is that you include a check box to allow a user to make a BCM

I have Office Standard 2007. I want  to synch just a subset of my 1,200

Is this a bad idea? I'm not sure I'm ready to upgrade completely to Office 07

BCM had an "Account" and Accounting 2007 had the same as a "Customer." After

history and contact info). How do I merge the two "Accounts" in BCM?
