Can someone explain how the data between Outlook, Hotmail, Contact Manager is integrated? I can't seem to sync the data and have too many duplicates, or missing contacts. It seems it too much to ask for 1 repository for contacts, but with Outlook Connector, "Import Contacts" in Hotmail...

Hello John. Thanks for your interest. No update that I am aware of. I've simply stopped trying to use OL Contact Manager natively for anything. Its only function for me, at this point, is an automated way of synchronizing contacts between myself and my boss. It takes too much time to have to log...

Well just to update you on how the system is working, or not.... Today I needed to add contacts to the Business Contacts on BeckiBoor.com.

I have successfully created an OL Small Business account (2 actually). The website editor is easy to use, and works, HOWEVER, I am having a great deal of difficulty getting the OL calendar and documents to link to my Outlook 2007. Email and contacts sync fine, but when I try to use "connect to outlook"...

That's great to hear, will this fix also include the ability to synchronize companies without contacts?

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...
