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

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 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.

Can't say they were all created in the same version of outlook. I've
had
outlook for years. 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 suspect there is something else different between the Contacts that
throw
the prompt and those that don't. Were these Contacts all created
similarly
and in the same version of Outlook? Have you tried any routine
maintenance
like repairing your data file or creating a new profile?

I have no add-ins or custom forms. No steps either, just open the
contact
and
I'm asked if I want to save the changes... 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.

BETA

In English that's office 2007 beta with the Beta 2 technical
refresh.

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. Repair the data file with the Inbox Repair
Tool (assuming you have B2TR installed).

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.

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.

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.

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 upgrade

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.

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.

How did you migrate your data to the beta? Have you tried
what I
suggested?
