    Hi.  When I try to create a new contact from an account record within the CRM 2011 Outlook client, I am getting a screen to create a new Outlook contact NOT a new CRM contact. 

    Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    In CRM 2011by default CRM for Outlook uses Outlook form for entities including Contact, Task, Appointment and Email. If you want to use the CRM form for Contacts then you may need to change it form the CRM Outlook options. In Outlook go to File->CRM->Options->General (Tab), check Contact checkbox in Select which form to use section

    Hi Jehanzeb,

    That was exactly the setting that I was trying to find.

    That is different from the way it was in CRM 4.0.

    Thanks.

    Exactly what i was looking for too.  Now...  is there a way to change this globally for all users without modifying the database directly?
