How to customize Business Contact Manager 2007 forms in Outlook 2007

 I found this on the Office Website when someone asked me about form customisation for BCM.  I thought I would share it.

You can customize Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager forms by adding fields and list items (drop-down lists) that are unique to your business.

You can customize the following types of forms:

  • Account
  • Business Contact
  • Opportunity
  • Business Project

You can customize drop-down lists by clicking Edit this list and then adding your item to the list.

Hello

I was wondering if you knew how to add a new field to an existing group already on the form. Id like to add a field in the category "business contact" which is at the top of the page rather than add a seperate group which will automatically go at the bottom o the page.

Kamer,

unfortunaley you can only add custom fields, not add extra ones to the existing groups.

Sorry

Can I add the "Related Accounts and Business Contacts" group from the "Business Projects" form, to an "Opportunity" form?

Is there a way to add a integer field that is auto-generated? I'd like to add a case number to the project form that is generated every time a new project is created.

Thanks,

Wes
