How do I integrate with Microsoft Outlook?
SalesNOW supports integration with MS Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 (currently MS Outlook 2003 is not available).
To setup Outlook integration, perform the following:
Close Outlook on your PC
Logon to SalesNOW at
www.salesnow.com
Go to "setup"
"Install Outlook 2007/2010 Integration"
Follow the instructions on the screen.
That is due to one of the mandatory Outlook components is missing.
Prior to installing SalesNOW Outlook Add-in, please verify that the default Outlook components have been installed by following the steps below:
In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
Select "Microsoft Office 2007".
Select Add or Remove Features.
Click Continue.
In the Installation Options tab, click the '+' to expand the "Microsoft Office Outlook".
Click the drop-down arrow adjacent to ".NET Programmability Support" and select "Run from My Computer".
The SalesNOW Add-in synchronization needs to work with Outlook's cached exchange mode. Please change the setting by following these steps:

On the "E-mail" tab, click the Exchange Server account, and then click "Change".

The duplicate issue might be cause by the backup feature on Outlook 2007/2010 or you might have other third party backup software installed. By default, Outlook 2007 looks to both your outlook.pst file and the outlook backup file at the same time. So, as soon as you do a backup of your Outlook file, the to-do’s from both files begin to appear. If this is in fact the source of your problem, the fix is easy. Simply go to Tools then Account Settings then Data Files and remove the backup file that appears in the list. The Personal Folders should be your default with the only other file appearing in the list being your archive file.
Please contact support@salesnow.com for any other issues.
