(Build 12.0.409.0 running on Vista Business 32-bit 3Gb ram).

Issue: On a database that was updated from V 11.1, when adding a new contact record, after entering a phone number in the phone field, I can click in another field - no problem, but on clicking the Save icon the error "This contact no longer exists in the database" appears. On clicking OK the screen refreshes and the phone filed is blank.

Have run check and repair,and database rebuilds and fixes from ACT Diag. Problem persists. Problem does not appear in the demo database, or in a newly created database, only the upgraded one. No errors were seen during the upgrade process.

Additional information. This problem seems to be related to the Phone field Country not being correctly picked up. I have "United Kingdom" in My Record, but if I check the formatting after creating a new contact record it appears as "[1]", (not "United States [1]", or "United Kingdom [44] as I would have expected).

If I correct the country here, or enter "United Kingdom" in the Country field, the error goes away.

We are having the exact same problem.  Just upgraded to version 10 and started noticing that if we go in and try to update a phone number on a contact and save it we get this error:

When I read this post I checked and sure enough the country code is set to "1" instead of "United States 1".  The format is set to freeform so the Apply Phone Masks command in the ACTDiag did not correct, though I did give it a try.

Anyone else found a solution to fix this yet?

Thanks!!

.... and then the problem came back again.

Probable solution would be to start with a new database then import the existing data, but as I have a large number of custom fields that will take some time, so as a work around I have set a default value on "United Kingdom" in the Country field, which seems to be working at the moment.

Jeff

Where do you set the default value at?

Thanks!!

You can set the default in Tools > Define Fields. Then select the Country field, then click Next, and it's on that page, HOWEVER, before you do that, I have just installed ACT2010 HotFix 2 and (touch wood) it seems to have sorted this probelm as well so I would give that a whirl first.
