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.

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.

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.

"in

upgrade" so I'm not sure exactly what you mean with that.

I had office xp pro installed, installed the beta and just

Sometime

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.

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

I have the same issue in Outlook 2007 B2TR. It is a brand new Laptop (6
weeks old). The Laptop came with MS Works. I unistalled that and then
installed MS Office 2007 Beta. Then Upgraded to B2TR.

I have all the latest updates installed - Office diagnostic reports no
problems.

The problem (save dialog when no changes were made) only occurs if the
contact has an e-mail address. The save prompt goes away if the e-mail
address is removed.

I have a fairly large contact database - 892 contacts in the main
folder, and several sub-folders with 1000+ more.

After completeing the install of Office 2007 Beta, I copied, by outlook
2003 DB to the new Laptop, Opened it in outlook 2007 beta, and copied
(drag & drop) the contact from the 2003 File Contact Folder to the new
2007 Beta File Contacts Folder.

At some point shortly after that I ran Microsoft Diagnostics and saw
that their were upgrades available and upgraded to B2TR. I am not sure
if I had the issue with the save dialog before the upgrade or not.

This issue is currently driving me nuts! I use Contact extensively and
often have many open at one time. I am continually unsure if I actually
made changes to a contact or not because of this issue.

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. If there is any additional
info I can provide, please let me know.

Russ, If it would help resolve the issue, I can start up a GotoMeeting
session and let you look at my system to try and resolve the issue.

Thanks,
-Lee

Russ,

Hmmmm? Nothing to resolve?
I "might" agree with you if there was only one instance of the issue.
However, there are currently several reports of the same issue, so
there is something to resolve. One person even provided a video for you
with the issue. We are all trying to provide the info you need to
duplicate and would be delighted to help you reproduce as the issue is
driving us nuts. However, it appears this will take more than
identifing a series of steps that we have taken to make this occur.

I would think that this issue should get resolved before releaseing the
product for general availability when there will be many more people
impacted.

Regards,
-Lee

Where has anyone reproduced this in the RTM version? What makes you think it
isn't already resolved?
