Date/time bug in BCM Business Notes?

[George]

In Outlook2003w/BCM, I routinely go to BCM contacts and enter Business Notes
under "Business Contact History. Later, if I double-click, and PRINT this
*Business Note*, I get something like this example, which looks similar to
what you'd get when you print an Outlook email:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous
---------------------------
Subject: Remember to mention article to Joe
Entry Type: Note
Start: Sat 10/12/2002 2:45PM
End: Sat 10/12/2002 2:45PM
Created by..

Next time I call Joe, I need to mention the article in the Journal on Feb
9th.
-------------------------------------------------------------

My question is... why does it have a 2002 date and time? Where'd that come
from, is it a bug? Also, is it normal to be entitled "Miscellaneous" (I do
have an email where sender is named miscellaneous...is that where it picked
this up or is that just a coincidence?

Thanks,
G

I tried this in v2.

Instead of "Miscellaneous" I got "Unknown".

And for the dates I got 11/4/2004, which may be the day I installed the
beta on this machine(?).

I don't think printing is a feature of BCM, just something you get for
free with an Outlook Add-in's forms.

Interesting. I don't get Miscellaneous, I get my name (John Christian). My
start and end dates & times are the same as yours, only for Mountain time -
10/12/2002 12:45 PM. Perhaps that is when whoever designed the form saved it
or created it.

Under "Created By:" I have "Created/Due:" with the correct date time. Under
that I get the "Parent Entity EntryID", which I make a point of memorizing
for each contact ;-)

Thanks, and that seems to add another data point that the info in this
"print" is pretty much arbitrary...something grabbed from something
irrelevant during development...

If I'm getting "Miscellaneous" which is one of my email "names" (when going
into uncertain, high-spam-risk areas), and if you're getting John C, which I
bet is your email "name"... then it's grabbing the originator's email...
like when you print an email in Outlook... which has *nothing* to do with a
business note. Whether it's called flawed coding or a bug, either way it
doesn't make sense.

Same with the date/time, someone seemed to have just thrown something in...

Needs work.
