Sync not getting very far
Posted: 07 Apr 07 11:39 AM Modified By patrick24601  on 4/7/2007 11:45:07 AM)

I've installed the latest version of the Outlook plug in on Windows XP System Outlook 2003. I am able to see the plugin menu in Outoook, change the settings, and  the connect test is working ok. The CRM is installed locally in IIS 5.1 for XP.

When I click on sync contacts I get a dialog box saying "Connecting to CRM", a 5 second pause, and then it goes away. I end up with no contacts in Splendid.

What am I doing wrong?

(I just did a test with the calendar and it does look like the sync worked there)

All Contacts are not automatically sync'd.  You need to mark them in Outlook as sync'able, and you need to mark them on the CRM side.  The theory is that you may not want all contacts in Outlook sent to the CRM, or vice versa.

Thanks. Progress!

Something I'd like to see if we can get in as a future feature.

When I just imported all of these contact I ended up with NO accounts. I would have assumed that all of the company names would have come in as accounts, and then the contacts be associated with the appropriate accounts. As it sits now not only do I not have any accounts, I don't have any of the company information.

Is that working correctly?

We do match account names with existing accounts for Cases and Opportunities, but not for Contacts; this was probably just an oversight.  However, we do not create new accounts if the he account does not exist.
