Suggestion

[P Fruin]

Here's an e-mail thred that should give you guys some ideas of how to improve
BCM.

Sorry for the long questions Luther but I don't know how to make my problem
clear so I can hopefully get a thoughtful answer. So, let me try again.

1. I'm not looking to import a whole database from ACT! again I've already
done that! And I see no way, using the BCM Import function, to import just
one or several contacts. The problem is that I lost about 100 contacts from
over 2,000 I already imported. I just want to import these 100 or so and have
them put in the BCM Contacts folder not the Outlook Contacts folder. ( I
guess I could import the whole datbase again to get the 100 or so deleted -
but I just went throgh that procedure and it gave me no option to not import
duplicate files!)

2. If I have to bring them over through e-mail, IS there anyway that you
know of to getthe Notes and History included with them? It came over when I
imported the database but iot's not when I attach a Contact to an e-mail -
even though I do check the boxes to incluse the info as I stated in my first
message.

3. WAY to simple an answer Luther! These were deleted several months ago -
inadvertently - and they are no longer in my Deleted Items folder. And my
question was how to get these Business Fax #'s OFF the "Select Names" list -
without deleting an entire Contact yet again - like was done (I think) with
the 100 or so mentioned above? (I have no idea why these Business Fax #'s
even appear in this list or how they got there! This list should be for
e-mail addresses only! Why would I want to select a Business Fax # to send an
e-mail too?)

So, let's try this againand see if I can get these questions resolved.
Thanks Luther!







- Show quoted text -

When you import, in the BCM import wizard, there's an option for what
to do with duplicates. I think the three options are (1) create dupls,
(2) merge dups, and (3) don't import dups.

As an alternative, you can create a BCM database, import everything
from ACT, select the 100 contacts you want, export those 100 to a BCM
file, switch back to your original database, and import the BCM file
with the 100 contacts.

I don't know how to bring in the history via email, nor why the fax
numbers comingle with email addresses. Perhaps its an Outlook feature
that got turned on when a fax feature was turned on.
