1.BCM-V2 (Outlook 2003 BCM SP3) TO BCM-V3 (Outlook 2007) Migration
I've got a two backups from my BCM-V2 SP3 installation : A) Completed Export to BCM (From Outlook 2003) B) Database Backup From MSSQL 2003 (Express Ed, or Whatever) I Did a clean install (on Another WorkStation) of Office 2007, then install Outlook BCM-V3 (Witch install MSSQL Express Ed 2005, and creates an empty database) I've follow two differents steps to try to make the migration : A) Import BCM File (From my previous exported BCM (Outlook 2003)). ERROR : Something like "Outlook can't make the last action", and nothing append, another thing is that, I must kill outlook process to get rid of that pop-up (Cancel and BACK buttons doesn't work) B) Restore Database into MSSQL Express 2005: It seams that this last step is the right one, but, when the process is in the middle of the migration, it stops, and shows a pop-up with something like "You're not allowed to restore database, plese contact the owner (my self) of the database, before restore" (This is not the exactly msg, but the meaning is the same) My last chance, is to backup database, with password, and try to restore again, and see what append. No other clue for me, any help ?? Thxs, (Excuse my bad english))
2.Outlook 2003 B.C.M. address book doesn't function
Hello all, Several weeks ago a client contacted me regarding an issue that had developed on one of their workstations. They have Dell Dimensions that came with Microsoft Office 2003 w/BCM installed. However when the office manager installed an older copy of MS ActiveSync 3.x on her workstation, she also inadvertently installed Outlook XP. As you can imagine that caused major problems so I had to stop by their office and uninstall anything pertaining to Outlook, reinstall, get the MS utility to clean up installer files. Finally after an hour everything began working normally. However last week she went to save an address to her address book and began receiving the message: "Upon opening Outlook, it refers to the Business Contact Manager and the database engine. When trying to ADD to Address Book, it states the Contacts folder is either moved, deleted, or permissions denied." I suggested she uninstall and then reinstall BCM via the orginial OEM cd she received from dell. She tried that to no success. In fact here was what she wrote after I suggested that idea: "The CD is not allowing me to reinstall. Autorun brings up a screen stating in black letters Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003 setup completed then in red Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003 was not installed. "Finish" is the only operational button. The Wizard closes. I have tried going to My Computer to run the setup and I get the same screen. Also tried start/run/e:, same thing happens." Does anyone have any ideas? It sounds like the installer is possibly messed up. Correct? Brad

4.upgrading from Outlook/BCM 2003 to Outlook/BCM 2007
I recently upgraded my computer to Vista 32bit with a clean install. I backed up all important to another system before the installation. I also upgraded to Office 2007, including Outlook 2007. Then I installed Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007. Now I would like to restore the backed up database from the previous version. When I use the 'Manage Database' dialog and select 'Restore Database...", I then pick the Browse button and navigate to the location of my backed up database from the previous version. The name of my file is 'MSBusinessContactManager.msbcm'. It was not password protected. After picking the 'OK' button, I get the message: "This backup file was created in an earlier version 2.0.3606.0. It must be migrated to the current version 3.0.5625.0." I then pick 'OK' and it looks like the restore is working. However, it stops and replys with this message: "Cannot restore this database because you were not authorized to back up or restore databases when this was originally backed up. For more information, contact the database owner or the system administrator for more information. Your local database was not changed." Now I'm worried... I have a few years worth of contact information and communication history. I would really like to restore this database. I didn't password protect the original database file and I backed up regularly. I never had a system failure, so I never needed to restore. I would think this would be a reasonable method for upgrading from an older version to Outlook/BCM2007. What other method should I have used? BTW, after upgrading from Windows XP SP2 to Windows Vista 32bit, I used the same computer name, description, and am part of the same workgroup. I don't want to go back to XP and reinstall Outlook/BCM 2003 to use my BCM database. How can I restore this older database with Outlook/BCM2007? Thanks in advance for your help. Gregg
5.outlook 2003 with BCM does not put BCM on Outlook Menu bar
My ultimate goal was to install MS Office Accounting Professional 2007 with Office 2003 Professional integrating BCM to Outlook 2003 against the Office Accounting database. I Installed in this order: Office Accounting Pro 2007 Office Professional 2003 Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager Everything installed wtihout an error but I was not prompted for a database to attach.. BCM shows up in Add/Remove Programs and there is a BCM program group with two entries for help and a tour. From what I have read on the support site there should be a "enable BCM" entry as well. I even tried unistalling and re-installing "Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager". I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
