Have the sync problems been resolved with BCM? That is my only concer
before buying. I am a loyal ACT!user. Anyone else out there change
from ACT! to Outlook BCM?

thank

Yes... We just did, but it has not been an easy migration... I do not know If you have sync both programs before or kept the calender and tasks up to date on both of them, but that was a mayor headache for us... It took us several tries to get it right... We just ended up transfering ONLY the contacts with histories, attachments and notes..
And still are having some problems updating all the contacts... However, we have not experienced any problems with syncing to our iPaqs..

It depends on your sync program. ActiveSync will sync only the contacts in your default Contacts folder, not in the BCM folders.

Any tips on the conversion you could share? I'd be happy to put them up on my FAQ at More BCM answers at http://www.slipstick.com/bcm/bcmfaq.aspx

Which OPCS do you have? Ver. 1.2
We can only Sync Outlook contacts not BCM...

1.2 is the latest version. See the message "MS Pocket Contact Synchronizer Works With BCM!"
