Default Save changes to contact popup when no changes were made.

I've always believed you. I simply cannot reproduce the behavior in my
current version of Outlook 2007.

Russ, take a look at the avi I made which shows the problem happening if
you
want.

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.

"Same problem" means what exactly? We need exact steps to repro. I sure
can't replicate this in RTM.

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.

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 ..

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.

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.

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.

Clues are trickling in. Uninstalling Office XP after an

installation
is an unsupported scenario. Repairing the Office installation
is
not
what
I
suggested and would not help. Repair the data file with the
Inbox
Repair
Tool (assuming you have B2TR installed).

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.

"Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote:

This doesn't fit. If you did an upgrade installation from
Office XP
to
the
beta, there would be no Office XP to "uninstall."
You repaired your file, right, not your installation?

I had office xp pro installed, installed the beta and just
continued
using
the same .pst file. I don't know of any other way.
Sometime
later
I
uninstalled office xp pro.

I just did a repair, no luck so I deleted my profile and
created
another.
It's still asking me if I want to save changes as
previously
described
though
I didn't make any. Everything else is working perfectly.
