Microsoft Office Live Small Business Community

In another post, I outlined a huge problem of "companies" not being created when I connected to Outlook Contacts (I have Office 2007 Pro).  So, I thought I'd try to see how time consuming it would be to create the companies manually and link the contacts.  BUT, that doesn't even work!!!

I go to "business contacts" "companies" and open my company's entry.  Then I click on "add existing" under business contacts and ONLY the contacts with the last name beginning with "A" appear.  I can scroll down the list of "A" names, but there's nothing else.  No search either.

I am a personal assistant to two real estate agents and have an extensive background in computing (was a systems analyst and database programmer in the early 1980's).  I was really excited about being able to take our small office online without having to set up our own server with it's associated costs and maintenance.  Now I'm beginning to look like just an ass as once again Microsoft's product does not live up to it's marketing hype!

Very frustrated.

yes the existing contacts is a big pain. the problem is there is now way to make the window bigger.  In order to link your customers to an account is to do this.  it a big pain which i will address to officelive.

So for now heres how you do it.

on the bottem of the box hold down your mouse and drag down and over to the right.  suprisingly there is a next button located there.  Unforuantly you have to do this in order to move on switch sucks when your contacts last name starts with a U!  I hope that helps.  if I find a easier way i'll post
