Any interest in an Add-on to cache the BCM Contact Folder

I was a little miffed that my sales people couldn't access their contacts
when they are offline from the network which the SQL database we use resides
on. So I spent a little time learning how to create an addin. Taking vba &
vb code samples I've pieced together a very simple addin that creates a cache
bcm outlook folder and copies contacts from the Business Contacts folder to
this folder.

The process is kicked of by a button I create on the standard toolbar.
Right now all it does is create the cache folder if it doesn't exist. Then
it verifies the contact FullName field with existing contacts in the cache
folder to prevent writing duplicates. It doesn't have a progress window or
anything, extremely simple.

Thought I would post to see if any others would have an interest in
something like this and try to get ideas before I put too much more time in
it.

Welcome any and all thoughts.
 
kfrost,
Sounds like a good idea.
Off topic here, but we are looking for a way to do quotes in SBA 2006 when
offline (at the job site). Guess this would be somewhat along the same line.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for the response, if you'd like feel free to email me. I'd be
glad to discuss the idea you have with you. I don't know the look and feel
you are trying to come up with but I have a couple of thoughts that come to
mind. I'm not going to share them here so this thread doesn't get off topic,
but send me an email with what functionality you want and I'll send you my
ideas. Or post another topic and I'll try to respond. Also, if it's too
much to type up, send me an email and I'll send you my office number and
would be glad to discuss it with you.
