-Problem with correlation between network setup and local use in Contacts/Tasks as separate modules.

-Contacts were not showing persons and companies from the network, if there was a network login, as a result of no login prompt.

-Partial QuickEntry entries fixed. Used to give an error if partial QuickEntry entries were entered.
