Hello. We are investigating using BCM for some of our sales people. We would like to have the BCM database setup on our existing SQL Server 2000. When I setup the BCM client (Outlook 2007 with BCM) it asks if I want to connect to an existing database, which can be on another computer, but there is no option to create the database on a remote server. Is this possible? If so, can someone point me to documentation on this? Thanks, Alan

- 1. business contact manager - sharing with other profiles
I've had BCM running separately on two user profiles on the same PC. I now want the users to share the same BCM database. When I try to switch databases (File/Datafile management then click Settings) the Associate database wizard only shows the database created under that profile and not the one created under the other profile. How do I get it to pick up the other database, so that I can share it. - 2. Unable to initialize CLR
I am recieving an error when I try to add Bus. contact Manager database to Outlook 2003. The error is: "Could not initialize CLR. Required Permission can not be obtained." I had the program running, then started recieving this error. Now, when ever I open Outlook the message Could not initialize CLR continues to pop-up. I have to remove BCM to stop the pop-up error message. I have un installed and re-installed Outlook and BCM, but can not get access to the database. I have removed my old database, planning to set-up a new one, however, I still get this error. I have put my name as a BSMuser and unloaded and reloaded Office 2003. i am running Windows XP Professional and my username is set-up as admiistrator. Also runing Office 2003 SP1. ANY IDEAS...Thank you for your Help - 3. Company info in Appointments etc
Call me blind or just stunned, however I am at a loss. I would expect that when you view an appointment etc on your calendar you would be able to see the associated Account Name or Business Contact Name when you click on it. The way it is the Appointment is linked to the Business Contact or Account, however if you double click on it the only way to see the link is to click on Link to Record to see who the Appointment is linked to and then cancel out of that and go to Business Contacts or Account Name and open the record there to make notes of the Appointment or call if you want them to appear on the record there. Is there not a direct way to work in the Business Contact Record or Account Record from the Appointment. If I not clear here let me know and I will try to explain better. Thanks for helping out in advance. Regards -- Andrew Mitchell - 4. urgent advice on sharing data please?
We use BCM v2.00.4013. To date we have been synching using export / import. We need to hold a central d/b which can be viewed centrally and / updated etc. We want to have access to the contact/account/opportunity data while we are offline and then synchronize any changes that we may have made back into the shared database when we come back into the office. Is this possible? We are thinking of getting an exchange server and SBS implemented for this very purpose. Do I understand that this is good idea or not? I hope someone could answer this as we need to make a decision here quickly? Thanks for any help. Ian

2.Run the BCM database on a SQL server 2000
Hello everybody, i have som questions about the migrations of BCMs databse from a MSDE to a SQL server. 1. is this possible and does it work, i have all the the questions and answer and it seems like it shold work, but does it work 100%. so if someone have done this migration, please just write som words and tell me about is. 2. I have contacted the Microsoft support and the limitations of the MSDE databse is 5 users and a BCM databse can be 2 GB big. If you migrate the BCM databse to a SQL server 2000, does the limitations disappears? 3. Can you use the BCM database in some sort of "offline" status, so you will be able to use the BCM database when you open Outlook 2003 outside of the office, example when you are home. When i do this now, is says it cant find the BCM database, beacause a work with a shared database that is on our server. Does anyone know if the "offline" databse i possible? I appreciate all the help, tips and suggestions that you know of, i think this is som questions that more people than me would like to know. Best regards Tom

4.Can BCM database be installed on a standard SQL Server
Hello, I am new to BCM, so my question may be a little be basic. I am IT Manager for a mid-size company. Couple of weeks ago, we moved a desktop machine from a room to another and discovered, out of a sudden, that people in the sales departement were not able to access their BCM anymore. We then understood that someone had instal the software on this inapporpriate machine. So last week, we decided to move BCM on one of our servers. I first tought that BCM was a standard client-server software, the SQL database acting as the server part. When I took a deeper look at the desktop where the central database is located, I found that only a small package of SQL Server was installed. My questions are : 1. Is BCM a standard clients-server application (outlook = clients and SQL = server) or a peer-to-peer application made of many outlook instances ? 2. Can I install BCM database on a SQL Server instance and have this instance deliver data to outlook clients 3. If so, do I need to install BCM on the "server" machine or can I just mount the BCM database on the SQL Server? Thank you for your help, EBL
5.BCM Database on central SQL server?
Hi! Our company runs SBS2003 server, clients have Office 2007 SB, includes also BCM. I wanted to have a centralized database on our server as client computers are either not always on or are not present (notebooks) to share the DB. Besides, do not want to waste one Office license to run BCM "server" on one additional station. I have found the "Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 Database Tool" provided by MS as free download. Promises to create a centralized database on servers where Outlook/BCM are not installed. I have also installed "SQL 2005 Express SP2" on my SBS2003 and made sure my .NET environment is more recent then requested by the "Database Tool" installation program. It is 3.5 SP1 now. After running the "Database Tools" and creating the database I also added users. On client computers however attempts to connect to the database remain unsuccessful. The Wizard claims there was no valid BCM database present on the selected server. Have tried to work around by simply detaching the database created on one of client's PCs and moving it to SBS2003 server and manually attaching it there. Suddenly the BCM DB Wizard on client computer found it but not even the creator could manage the database (like change client permission list, like who can connect and who not). Even if result was not useful, it has proven the SQL2005Xpress server to be visible and properly configured? As it appears, the "Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 Database Tool" does not create a database, that would be recognized by my version of BCM as a valid database. Is there any workaround? Update? Fix? Pls help!
