I know this isn't directly related, but I wanted to share this with the group as I haven't seen a solution elsewhere yet.

If someone could move this to an appropriate article, I'd be grateful.

The problem is described in the comments for this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2006/07/03/655714.aspx and I wasn't able to find a macro script that didn't error out in Outlook 2007. Although I'm not a programmer by any stretch, I was able to modify it and get it to work ok as follows:

Sub SyncCRMCompanyName()

Dim objApp As Application

Dim objNS As NameSpace

Dim objContacts As MAPIFolder

Dim colItems As Items

Dim objContact As ContactItem

Dim strParentAcct As String

Dim i As Integer

Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set objContacts = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)

i = 0

Set colItems = objContacts.Items

For Each objContact In colItems

strParentAcct = ""

If objContact.CompanyName = "" Then

If objContact.UserProperties.Count > 0 Then

strParentAcct = objContact.UserProperties.Item("Parent Account")

If strParentAcct <> "" Or objContact.CompanyName <> strParentAcct Then

Rem Answer = MsgBox(strParentAcct, vbOKCancel)

objContact.CompanyName = strParentAcct

objContact.Save

i = i + 1

End If

MsgBox ("All done: " & i & " records updated")

End Sub

Hopefully this will help someone

Thanks,

Eivind
