My new computer is using Outlook 2007--came bundled in Microsoft office 2007. I am using PC 10.4 used to be I could export data to outlook. Now it won't allow. Message comes up stating 'Power Church unable to communicate with Outlook' Is there a fix for this problem.

When you update outlook contacts in PowerChurch, the process will begin and then pause while Outlook asks if you want to allow PowerChurch access. If I say No to that I get an error that states, "Unable to communicate with Outlook. No data transferred." Is that the message you get, and have you selected "Yes" when Outlook asked?

I don't see that error using PCPlus v11 and Outlook 2010 on a Win7 box. On my other machine (WinXP), I was able to update using PCPlus 10.4 and Outlook 2003.

In both cases, I did not have Outlook running at the time. On the Outlook 2003 computer, I did get the message that a program was trying to access my Outlook contacts/address book and do I want to allow that. Clicking on YES allowed it to proceed.
