Bunny: I didn't have any technical problems so I didn't ask any questions. But, they had no problem letting me download the program since they already had proof of purchase. Frankly, I think $275 is too much to pay. I have learned more from Jim's videos than then I have from the Agent Office people during the past 8 years.
If you find a way to get my HTML signature on A/O let me know please.

Bunny,
please post your issue here in the forum to see if we can come up with a resolution – many issues people think are technical can be resolved with our help. But, if we hit a dead end, yes, the $295 annual tech contract may be the only solution.
I am on the prowl for the next best thing in CRM and have even tried to join forces with people attempting to raise the money to build it. I've analyzed a dozen hopefuls in the past two years, but haven't found a winner yet. Hang in there with AgentOffice until I can find a better replacement.
Jim
thanks , Jim.
I worked out some of the problems by doing a 'system restore' to a date when things were working right. But I still have the issue of not being able to get it into a new computer. I've changed computers many times in the last 15 years or so that I've used this program by installing the software and then doing a 'restore' with my back-up files. This time it won't work. Perhaps because I don't have the software for the last upgrade to v.10 which I think was just done on-line.

Al, glad you're fixed. As I said, I've never seen this problem before. Thanks for sharing your resolution to the matter! Happy New Year!

Al/Jim:
I've used Agent Office for many, many years but am now having major problems. I tried to get tech support but was told it is now $295 per year. Wow! Al, did you have to pay that? Do I have any other option? Jim, is there some other contact management software that you would recommend. Active Agent (an add-on to Outlook) has been recommended but they only have e-mail support which is difficult to work with when you're first getting started. Any other ideas?

Jim:
Thanks for your help. Since my utility program was not with my AgentOffice program(Version 10) i tried to reinstall AgentOffice (Version 9) with the thought that I would update to Version 10 when the program asked me if i wanted to search for updates. I wasn't able to update Version 9 because install code would not work.
I contacted the new owners of AgentOffice and gave them my Serial # for Version 9. They were very helpful. My install code for version 9 was deleted when I upgraded to version 10. They promply emailed the download link for version 10 with the proper install code. So I and up and running with the utility progrm. If anyone has the same proplem probably the best way to contact them is to email support@agentofficehq.com.

My son who works at Microsoft was here over the Christmas week. He checked and the agent office utility is not on my computer so I have 2 questions.
1) Can I download the utility from some other source?
2) I have all my AO contacts backed up twice. Should I remove version 10 from my computer and install version 9 (I have the disc)? I assume the utlity is on the disc. When I have version 9 installed then I will upgrade to version 10 when the program asks if I want to search for new upgrades. Do you think this plan will work:
Thanks

Jim;
Okay. I have done everything you suggested and it matches with AgentOffice's user guide (the guide opens).
When I single click on AgentOffice it opens the program. I don't have an option of opening the utility. I see that all the ols folders on my C drive have an install date of November when I upgraded online to version 10.
Do you think I can get online and download the utility?
Thanks

I assure you, it's there. Let's make sure you are doing all the steps:
1. Make sure AgentOffice is closed
2. Click the Windows Start Button
3. Click on All Programs
4. You should be able to scroll through a series of FOLDERS to find one that says AgentOffice
5. Single-click on the AgentOffice folder – it might take a second or two for it to open and expand
6. You should see a series of different icons under the open AgentOffice folder and the one you want has a red “Swiss Army Knife” looking icon next to the words AgentOffice Utilities. A single click on that icon should open the Utilities module.
Let me know if you are still struggling with this.

Jim: I have had my present version(9.1) of agent office on my computer for 3 or 4 years. It has been updated online to version 10.00.01.00. Unfortunately I can't find the utility program for agent office. When I click on start, all programs, agent office is on the left side of the screen with no other options other then to open agent office. When I check all the programs on my C drive I can find an utility program but it won't open and going to the internet doesn't help.
Any ideas? If I put my agent office disc(version 9.1) in the computer will I be able to access the utility program?
Thanks
