Is there any way to have BCM 2007 auto populate the Location: field in an
appointment with the busines address from the BCM Contact record?
This goes to the critical deficiency BCM 2007 has in not placing critical
info from the BCM Contact record into an appointment. I'm speaking here of
selecting New History Item: Appointment from the BCM contact record screen.
Other items needed to be auto entered into the appointment and calender are
Name and Phone Number.
We know the contact (and contact info) that we wish to make the appointment
with (by starting the New Appointment dialog from the BCM Contact Record),
but BCM insists on making me demonstrate my typing prowess by manually
entering info that is already entered into the BCM Contact Record (like we
used to do with the old daytimer).
To make matters worse, if I try circumvent the typing test, the appointment
dialog Location: field will not allow me to paste the entire address in the
field, it will only accept one line at a time, requiring a couple of highly
skilled copy and paste activities to get the full address in the Location:
field.
This is now a critical item for me, as myFunambol has a link to the new Dash
Express GPS that will sync my Outlook appointments to the Dash Express GPS.
Now, all I have to do is select the appointment on the GPS and it loads the
address and tells me where to go and when to be there...A great new tool for
the salesguy. This saves a lot of data entry on the GPS and automates the
scheduling.
The only problem is that it takes way too much 1970's style manual,
duplicate data entry to setup the appointments with BCM 2007...
Is there a macro or vba code thing that will fix this deficiency?
