Business Contact Manager for Office 2010: New User Experience

I am getting an error in Outlook 2010 using Business Contact Manager that goes as follows:

"Business Contact Manager for Outlook could not complete your last action or actions. Please try again."

I went to a site to downloan and reinstall it. I enter the office 2010 key and it is supposed to take you to a Download link. But it does not.

How else do you believe I could fix this problem?

Thanks

I loved using Business Contact manager with Office 2007 on a Vista machine. I used it for all our HTML marketing campaigns together with Mapilab toolbox - and reccommended it to many others.

I then unfortunately upgraded to Microsoft Windows 7, Office 2010 and Business contact manager 2010. What a disaster!

The business contact manager now

1) converts all my HTML emails to plain text

2) Ignores mapilab (which works perfectly with Office 2010)

I am so frustrated!! I hear other people are having similar problems. Is there a fix? Or should I forget about using business contact manager and therefore microsoft products as the core database in my business.

My preview of the BCM indicates that its focus is on business to business and not business to individual accounts. Eq insurance agency with personal accounts - am I corect?

Chris,

I've been using BCM for about a year now, and I love it. It's a great addition to and works seemlessly with Outlook. My challenge is synchronizing my BCM Contacts with my PDA. I have an HTC EVO (Droid) phone. I can sync with Outlook, but it only sync's the standard outlook contacts, forcing me to literally maintain two copies of each Contact. What is your suggestion?

In BCM business contacts only come up under contact management pane. Noting reflected under /Business records/Business contacts. Advice?

Can you tell me if items in communication history are kept there indefinitely - do they suddenly get purged after a certian amount of time or can we be confident that our history is there for years to come? Also, if we link a document or email to a business contact is it actually copied into the history so that if the document or email is later deleted from the original site, it still remains in the communication history for that business contact?

Bowman - Don't get your hopes up. I and others have been asking and looking for the same info and have had no response from this forum. Real disappointment.

I would like to know if there is any training regarding the new BCM 2010? I have about 5 users in my company that are using it in place of just using Outlook to manage contacts and would like to learn more about the functionality of the program. If anyone has any real info besides what the Microsoft site has to offer please comment. Also...how different are the 2007 and 2010 versions of Business contact manager?
