I had some additional programs like front page that were part of the xp
installation left over that I uninstalled later. The add/remove programs still had it listed as office xp. I used the repair feature of office 2007 beta from add/remove programs.

I can tell you that if I take an old contact that doesn't do it (does not have an email address), it starts doing it when I add an email address. I also just created a new contact just for the test and it didn't do it, but when I added an email address it started to also. The new test contact only had a first and last name and an email address.

I just had an idea, I went clicking on contacts and closing them until I found one that asked me if I want to save the changes, so then I made a copy of that contact and started deleting things out of it until I could open/close it without the save changes question and it turns out (I did some other tests to confirm it) that it happens only to contacts that have one or more email addresses.

For some contacts I always get the save changes dialog when I try to close it. Other contacts just close without asking. I don't see a pattern. In either case I didn't make any changes. All I have to do is open the item and close it immediately after to be asked if I want to save the changes. Even if I say yes, then reopen/close it again for a test it still asks if I want to save the changes. |

Clues are trickling in. Uninstalling Office XP after an upgrade installation
is an unsupported scenario. Repairing the Office installation is not what I suggested and would not help.

I have B2TR installed. I didn't know about the inbox repair tool (thanks). I
ran it and it found some errors. I clicked repair and have a backup and log file now, but still the same problem. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Clues are trickling in.

I'm pretty sure. Maybe not though, but definately after installing the 2007
Beta... Oh wait, I just check the install history through windows system restore utility and it shows the last thing I did was "Removed Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage" I've never heard the term "in place upgrade" so I'm not sure exactly what you mean with that.

It means you deliberately installed Office 2007 in a partition that was
already running Office XP without first removing Office XP completely. Doing so relies upon the new Office installation routine to remove your old version successfully and replace it with the new version. Microsoft likes to pretend this scenario works. In my experience it doesn't. I would never install one Office version over another. If you did so and yet still had the ability to "remove" Office XP, you are supporting my contention. If the Office 2007 installation had been successful, you should have seen no remnant of Office XP. Apparently, what you actually did and what you actually saw remains in question. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "HangedMan" wrote in message ... I'm pretty sure.

I've got exactly the same issue in B2TR - clean install on new PC
Problem arises once contact is assigned an email address - after that I'm always prompted to save changes even when none are made. Take the email address out and - hey presto - no save changes prompt again ..

Ditto. I have the same issue in Outlook 2007 B2TR. Also, a recent clean
installation on a PC (one week old). The problem (save dialog when no changes were made) occurs if the contact has an e-mail address. The save prompt goes away if the e-mail address is removed. Office diagnostic reports no problems. I did NOT have this problem on my older PC with Outlook 2007 B2TR.

Russ, take a look at the avi I made which shows the problem happening if you
want. http://www.favron.com/images/officeerror.avi This describles the "same problem" but I'm sure from our explanation you already understand what we were saying, so maybe now its easier to believe us.
