  • 2. Any way to synch BCM with an iPaq?
    Using OL2007 and BCM 2007 and an iPaq 2755 pocket PC. Is there any way I can get my BCM contacts to synch with the pocket pc? I already synch my regular contacts successfully. Then I decided to go to BCM. I'm wishing i didn't move my business contacts from Contacts to BCM now since now I can no longer see them on my pocket pc. Arggh. I tried to install the "Outlook 2007 or 2003 with Business Contact Manager Add-in: Business Contacts for Pocket PC" but it says I have an "unsupported device". Bummer. Any help appreciated! TIA. Ray

    Lon, I want to buy your book. I thought I had bookmarked a page where I could purchase it but that page ended up being only a review (albeit a positive one). Where can I buy your book? Thanks, Darin
  • 4. Contacts display errors
    Got a new PC somtime back, since my old PC was loaded with an OEM version of Office 2003 Pro SBE, I had to purchase a retail box of Office 2003 Pro this edition was not SBE. I import my old pst file to this outlook but have been having a slight annoyance opening some of my contacts. Those contacts that were marked as SBE contacts generate a scripting error when attempting to open them with the current version of outlook. Is there a way to change these contacts from SBE to a general contact or maybe a better solution.
  • 5. OSQL Command
    I would like to run an sql command from my "scheduled Tasks" that will backup my BCM database. I would also need an sql command to restore the database should the occasion arrive. I am running XP Pro with Outlook 2007/w BCM. I would appreciate your help. -- Neil

Business Contact Manager cannot find database

Postby Umlja1M » Mon, 30 Jul 2007 05:18:01 GMT 

My IT Manager recently created a new Login on my laptop and now Business 
Contact Manager cannot find my database. It created a new (empty file) 
MSSmallBusiness2.mdf and MSSmallbusiness2.ldf file.

I found my original .mdf and .ldf files under the local settings\app 
data\bcm folder under the old user login and copied it in but it still won't 
recoginze it. Even tried renaming to the MSSmallbusiness2.mdf and 2.ldf but 
it still doesn't recognize it.

HELP please!

This is just basic security. User1 cannot access User2's data.

An administrator should be able to copy the old database's mdf file to
your new login's bcm folder, and go into the database with sql tools
and make you the owner.

I don't think BCM has a feature to transfer ownership of a database.

Which SQL tool should be usedd I sent the file to one of my SW eng's with the 
Developer kit and when he opened it, the permissions were set to his PC??? 
Does he need to do this directly on my PC?
