Hello all, Since a few days my History tab on account forms show all history. I cannot find the way to go back to the previous behavior: showing only history items related to the opened account. I've seen old posts speaking of forms cache corruption problem, but clearing the cache didn't solve the problem. Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance! Best, Guillaume.

Okay, I've exhausted many self help avenues so hopefully someone here can help me out. In Outlook 2010 BCM, I've kept it simple. My tabs are Accounts, business contacts, and leads. In the leads area I've created custom field entries to suit my needs and also created one user page that I named "Health Info". This page was created from the ground up and is very useful for what I do. When a

Dear all, I tried to install BCM on outlook 2007, but it doesn't work. The problem seems to be related to SQL. I followed the instructions in the on-line guide for BCM, so I tried to boot SQL from the registry, but it didn't work. Then the guide suggests to copy an event from Event viewer and attach it here to receive more assistance. This is the text, I hope that somebody can help me.

We have used BCM 2007 with Outlook, very poor experience, unstable and compromise the use of other parts of Outlook.

This is going to sound crazy, and i am not sure why, but recently when i create a new outlook message i cant see the text unless i change the default of html view to plain text. If i am responding to an email, i can see the text in any format. What changed and more importantly how do i see the text message i am typing when using the html view?

I scanned (many) business cards into Neatworks then imported to Outlook (reg contacts.) Everything worked great. But when I exported those same contacts into BCM, only the name & email address showed up, nothing else. I have tried Neatwork support who says BCM was a plug in & they don't support it. So is there a way to get all the contact info in contacts into BCM? Thanks in

I'm running Outlook 2007, and just recently added the BCM add-in. Once BCM was installed, email stopped functioning completely. Through trial and error, it was determined that there is some conflict with the fact that I have both my primary profile/email, and then shared access to a second email account. When we removed the second/shared email, BCM and Outlook email worked fine.
