BCM Linked Record
Does anyone know what member of the TaskItem is used for the Linked Account or Business Contact? I don't mean the Contacts Link at the bottom of the task form which uses the Links property.
I'm trying to build a routine that will get the linked account or business contact and fill in the link property on a task by clicking a custom button on the task form. -- Guy Forefront Business Solutions www.forefrontbusinesssolutions.com www.forefrontbusiness.com |

AFAIK, none. BCM uses its own database with relationships defined among the database tables. You'd have to reverse engineer it to make use of those relationships.
FWIW, it annoys me that BCM doesn't use the built-in Links collection in addition to the database tables. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Guy" wrote in message news:NQ%8g.8860$Qq.1472@clgrps12...

Do you know if they plan on any changes in version 3?
If they don't expose this stuff to VBA or severely change BCM to be customized, I'm going to abandon it soon. I really like it but this aspect of it really stinks.

Sue, you got me thinking. Could you run a SQL Query from VBA to retrieve
this information from the BCM database? -- Guy Forefront Business Solutions www.forefrontbusinesssolutions.com www.forefrontbusiness.com "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... AFAIK, none.

Certainly, once you reverse-engineer the database to understand how it's all organized.
Glad you like the book! I'm starting to work on the Outlook 2007 edition. I don't have any information to share on BCM v3. Presumably, it will be out with the Office 2007 Beta 2 fairly soon. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Guy" wrote in message news:eU39g.8919$Qq.5766@clgrps12...
