I tried installing MS Pocket Contact Synchronizer (ver. 1.2) in my Outlook
2003 installation. (MS says PCS 1.2 is for 2000 and 2002.)
The good It appears to work! After installing go to the Properties
page for the BCM Contacts folder. You'll see an "Outlook PCS" tab. Make
sure the checkbox on that tab is checked. Then, from the Tools menu run
"Start Outlook PCS". PCS will then move business contacts from BCM into
your normal Contacts folder. Then, using normal ActiveSync, they can be
synched with your PDA.
A nice touch (given the "badness" of this situation overall.....) is that
PCS puts the category of 'Business Contacts' in every contact it moves.
This serves as a way to keep track of which contacts are "homed" in BCM vs.
the regular Contacts folder.
Beware: I haven't done a thorough test. But the few things I've tried seem
to work well.
