I need to be able to add a contact to a task as well as linking them to a
contact. I am using Outlook 2007 and BCM 2007.

In Outlook 2003 I was able to add a contact to a task in the lower left hand
corner of the task form. This allowed me to sort them in the task view
according to contact. I would like to be able to do the same in 2007.

In Outlook 2007 Beta 2, the Contacts box for linking items to contacts does not appear by default. You will need to turn it on -- Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show Contact Activity Information on All Forms.

If, like me, you think that this is the wrong choice for the default option and that some users will perceive this as a data loss, you might want to provide feedback to Microsoft using the Send a Smile tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A2E1F4E2-BC0F-4403-B09F-7A677D55F274. This tool will transmit your comments and a screenshot back to Microsoft. For more information on this tool, see http://spaces.msn.com/turtleflock-ol2007/blog/cns!C1013F1F9A99E3D8!135.entry

Thank You, it works great. I will be sending it to Microsoft as I feel it a
valuable tool that I shouldn't have to hunt for.

Oh my goodness! I totally fell for that and ended up creating a custom form
for my tasks to include "Contact"! I feel so dumb... Definitely need to send
a smile on that one! Shane
