Version 3.4.328 - June 2010

  • You can now update a record in QuickBase by sending the same Outlook item again (i.e. Contact, Calendar, Task, etc.). In Options, see the new tab called "Saving" for preferences. Note that the "Duplicates" tab has been removed as it is no longer applicable.
  • The Quick Start option allows Outlook to start more quickly, however sending the first item to QuickBase will be slower. In Options, this is on the Preferences tab.

Version 3.2.308 - January 2010

  • After saving a Meeting into QuickBase and clicking Open In QuickBase, it was reported that the Meeting had never been saved.
  • When using a QuickBase Realm such as
    https://CompanyName.quickbase.com), you no longer need a matching account in www.quickbase.com.
  • The Import Mapping feature when using a QuickBase Realm (e.g. https://CompanyName.quickbase.com) wasn't locating mappings that it should have.

Version 3.2.304 - December 2009

  • When saving items to QuickBase, the performance has been improved. (This depends on your Internet connection speed and may require at least one save before you see any improvement.)
  • Improved performance when using different mappings.
  • After starting Outlook and saving the first item to QuickBase, performance has been improved.
  • The prompt asking to save a new item now displays more quickly.
  • Support for cross-Application relationships has been added when selecting the associated Table when creating a mapping. Note: You must add the SendToQuickBase Application Token to the other Application to see the Table in the mapping Wizard.
  • In some situations when saving multiple items at once to QuickBase, Outlook would stop responding. This has been fixed.
  • Corrected an issue when using the Auto Save feature to monitor multiple folders when there are thousands of email messages in the folders.
  • A few problems were corrected when using a QuickBase Realm (e.g. https://CompanyName.quickbase.com).
  • Connecting to QuickBase through a proxy server is now supported.
  • Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows, such as Vista 64-bit, is now a one-step process and no longer requires an additional step to install a 64-bit driver.

  • On 64-bit versions of Windows, SendToOutlook was not working properly.
  • In an enterprise environment deploying the Add-In using the MSI now allows the creation of a "transform" to set the License Key and hide the registration dialog.

Version 3.1 - August 2009

  • A new preference is available to delete the item from Outlook after being saved into QuickBase.
  • Time values stored into QuickBase are now adjusted for time zones from the local time of the computer to the time zone of the QuickBase Application. For example, if an email is received at 9:00 AM East Coast Time, and saved into an Application set for Pacific Time, the received time will be set to 6:00 AM (three hours earlier in Pacific Time).
  • There are additional fields saved from a Contact when using "Common Contact Fields".
  • There are also additional fields saved from a Task when using "Common Task Fields".
  • The Auto Save feature has been greatly enhanced. Multiple Outlook folders can now be monitored, each with their own mapping, and each with their own settings. Those settings are now independent of the settings used when interactively saving emails.
  • When using Word as the editor to compose an email message, if the window is full screen, the SendToQuickBase confirmation window was hidden behind the email window. This has been fixed.
  • In some cases, the SendToQuickBase trial dialog was hidden behind the Outlook window.
  • A warning is no longer displayed if you do not have a mapping selected when trying to Open an item in Quickbase, as no mapping is required for that function.
  • There are improved instructions describing how to add the Application Token in the Mapping Wizard.
  • Fixed problem causing a message to be displayed while saving stating "Unhandled exception has occurred... Thread was being aborted." which did not cause any problems, and was just an annoyance.
