Changes to the contact data filter do not synchronize with a user's Outlook contacts in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Microsoft Office Outlook

When you modify the contact data filter to show only the contacts that are members of a certain marketing list in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Microsoft Office Outlook, the changes that you made for the marketing list do not synchronize to the user's Outlook contacts.

This problem occurs because the contact's versionnumber attribute is not updated when you change the contact data filter. Therefore, the synchronization process ignores the changes.

This problem is fixed in the latest cumulative update rollup for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
