Aftering synching an iPhone, when accessing an Outlook 2003 Contact with
Business Contacts Manager installed, the following error message was received:
The properties dialog box could not be displayed. An invalid ENTRY ID was
passed.
Does anyone know how to fix this error? Someone posted this work-around in
another forum but I am hoping there is a simpler fix.
Thank you.

I had this problem too. Here's what I had to do:
1. Right click on the contact in the contacts folder and choose "Send Full
Contact" / "In Internet Format (vCard)"
2. This will bring up an E-mail message. Drag and drop the vcard from the
attachments to your desktop. Close the E-mail message.
3. Delete the contact from your contacts.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all contacts which are bad.
5. Shut down outlook.
6. Bring outlook back up again.
7. Drag and drop all of the vCards you saved on your desktop into the
contacts folder.
8. Shut down outlook and bring it back up again.
Everything should be okay now.
Very frustrating! I know. I'm wondering if there is a syncing issue between
the iPhone and Outlook. It seems that many of my problem contacts came
originally from the iPhone - but not all? So I haven't figured out the
pattern yet.
Good luck with this.
