I have BCM 2003. All I am trying to do is add a new contact and I keep
getting the error message

I am not sure... "properties which are computed" sounds like the "File As"
field to me. Are you trying to set the "File As" field with any specific
way? Can you create any simple contact such as "Joe Brown" and see if the
"File As" field can be saved as "Brown, Joe"?

I have not seen this before.. might need to test around to find the issue.

JK1031,

I forwarded your message to senior developers in my team, and one of them
quickly got back, suspecting that a mild "form/property corruption" might be
going on. Did you just recently install other Outlook Add-ins, or were you
trying to modify form customization? If you did, resetting your form cache
might just work here.

Follow these steps to reset your form cache (don't worry, it won't hurt you):
1. In Outlook, go to Tools menu > Options.
2. Choose "Other" tab, then "Advanced Options..."
3. Click "Custom Forms..."
4. Click "Manage Forms..."
5. Click the "Clear Cache" button, restart Outlook and try again.

(I don't have Outlook 2003 right now, so I wrote this based on Outlook 2007;
I would not expect them to be too much different between 2003 and 2007,
though. If the layout is different and my instruction does not match with
what you see, please look around... all should be near-by.)

I followed the procedure that John Huang recommended, because I'm
having the identical problem. The problem still exists after I
completed the procedure.

Yes. I downloaded Service Pack 3. When the installation began, it
informed me that Service Pack 3 had already been installed. When I
check "About Business Contacts Manager" I see that it says SP2, but I
have installed Office 2003 SP3, and that probably updated BCM.

Any other ideas?
