Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync
Issue:
1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
My discovery:
Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.
