    Hello, I was curious if BCM 2007 had the ability to sync data back with Exchange so that you could sync via ActiveSync and access data via OWA. Thanks
  • 2. Fields do not stay in place, creating difficulty in mail merge
    When I create a Business Contact relationship to an account, the Zip/Postal Code does not transfer to the Zip/Postal Code Field. It is tagged onto the end of the State field. This causes difficulty when I generate a mail merge as it does not fall into my pre-arranged report.
  • 3. SQL Server Service Manage
    I have updated Outlook 2003 (using Windows XP) with Business Contact Manager. In the process it installed an . I don't use a server, so there is simply an icon on the taskbar. Moving the cursor over it it say "Not Connected - \\". Since installing that update, I have a problem connecting to the server (with Front Page 2003) that hosts my website. I suspect that it is linked to this installed SQL Server Service Manager. My questions: 1. Do I actually need the "SQL Server Service Manager" to run Outlook with the Business Contact Manager (I didn't before). 2. Can I disable or remove this SQL Server Service Manager? 3. Could this be the issue with FP 2003? Apologies if the question is dumb, obvious or complicated. I appreciate help..... Have a great week, Richard

Import from Access Database (mdb) fails

Postby RGF2aWQgaW4gU2FpbnQgUGF1bA » Wed, 21 Feb 2007 05:42:05 GMT 

I have not been able to successfully import contacts from an Access database 
(mdb) file. When I get to the step in which I have to identify the file to 
import, I browse to it, select it and then click-on Next. I then receive a 
the following message: "Business Contact Manager for Outlook could not 
complete your last action or action(s). Please try again." Nothing further 
happens until I click-on "Cancel". 

My environment is: Windows XP Professional, all patches and updates loaded 
to date
Microsoft Office Professional 2003 installed, all patches and updates loaded
Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003 installed, all patches and 
updates, etc.

I'm stumped. Suggestions??

4.Cannot import send/receive dates for emails stored in Access (.mdb) file 

I have some mdb (Access format) database files with thousands of emails
extracted from couple of Yahoo groups forums.  I'd like to import these
into my Outlook 2003 PST so that I can search and read them offline.

The mdb files contain all the fields necessary for a proper email
import, including

from_name
from_email
subject
receive_date
receive_time
message (HTML format)

When I use the Outlook "Import and Export Wizard", selecting Access
file type, etc., all appears fine.  However, after the import
completes, in Outlook there is no date information populated under
either sent or received date.

If I use the "map custom fields" button on the import wizard, all of
the import file fields are shown correctly on the left hand "from" side
(as listed above) but on the right hand "to" side I only see the
following Outlook fields to map to:

subject
body
from/to/cc/bcc (name)
from/to/cc/bcc (address)
from/to/cc/bcc (type)
billing information
categories
importance
mileage
sensitivity

For whatever reason, THERE IS NO DATE FIELD to map to.

I can map date to something like "billing information" but that doesn't
help much

I appreciate any help or advice you can provide!

Thanks,

John

5.Sharing BCM fails - cannot access database 

I am trying to attach to a shared BCM database. When I attempt to connect to 
the share I get a message that it cannot access the database. I have shared 
the database on the host and can see it from the client machine but it just 
won't connect from the select a database screen. Most of the Microsoft 
troubleshooting suggests a firewall problem so I turned off the firewalls on 
both machines, still no joy. 
The machine that is hosting the database is running Windows XP SP2 with 
Outlook 2007. The client is running Vista Business with Outlook 2007. Both 
machines are fully patched.
Anybody got any tips or thoughts?
