Diane you give the answers that makes a business person want to pull their
hair out or at least scream. We prefer not having "more work" type solutions
and suggest Microsoft institute some changes for the customers. I can assure
you any business person with multiple clients, esp in our field of finance -
excess of 300, would appreciate having data in one place. Apparently the
request is feasible as "Contact Plus" has done it. I will be free of
Microsoft by year's end and working with a different OS and going to cloud
computing and online email etc etc etc. Moreover your BCM software is a joke
when one tries to interface it with the contacts.
