Problem opening contacts
Hi
I used to have BCM installed on my laptop but I did a recovery recently and decided not to reinstall BCM since it is something that I will never use. Now, every time I try to open a contact I get an error because it is looking for the Financial Info form that was created with BCM. I click OK on the error and decline the option to debug the script and then the contact will open. The Financial Info tab is there with no data in it. If I open a newly created contact I don't have any problem since there is no Financial Info tab created with new contacts. Is there a way to get rid of the Financial Info on all of my old contacts without reinstalling BCM? The error reads "Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine" If I choose to debug the error is located in the following part of the script: Const c_strFormName = "Financial Information" Const adUseClient = 3 Const DbgRight = 1 Function Item_Open() Dim lContactIndex Dim conn ' Get the objects on this form Set pageSBE = GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages(c_strFormName) (Arrow points here) Set grid = pageSBE.DataGrid1 ' Quit now if we are in design mode If pageSBE.DesignMode Then Exit Function End If Any help would be appreciated Thanks!!

Problem opening contacts
Did you move the BCM contacts into your regular Contacts folder? Otherwise,
I'm baffled as to how they might have become connected to this form. In any case, it sounds like you need to change the MessageClass property on the existing items to point to the default IPM.Contact form . See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#convert for several tools and scripts to accomplish this. You can see the current class by adding the Message Class property to a table view of your contacts folder. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Paul O" wrote in message ...

Problem opening contacts
I'm not sure what happened exactly but I think when I upgraded to Office 2003 and installed BCM I might have brought all of my contacts into BCM. Don't ask me why as I was just messing around with BCM, not knowing much about it. Anyway, my contacts were backed up in my .pst file before I did a recovery, and now I guess they are still looking for BCM in order to open properly. I'll try your suggestion and see what happens.
Thanks Paul |

It worked! I used DocMessageClass.exe to change the form from 'IPM.contact.SBE' to 'IPM.contact' and problem solved.
Thanks Sue! Paul |

Mystery solved: SBE = small business edition. It is not BCM, nor does it
have anything to do with BCM. It's a previous version of Office. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Paul O" wrote in message ...
