  • 1. HATE ACT....want to change...should I?
    We currently have ACT 2008 and it has had SOOOOO many problems that we are considering converting over to the Business Contact Manager that is a part of Office Professional 2007. I have some questions that maybe someone could answer for me: 1) Will BCM convert an ACT 2008 database? 2) My partner and I share one database/calender, etc. thru our small office network; will we be able to share one database/calendar with BCM? 3) If we can share one database/calendar where would I find the instructions on how to create the sharing? 4)We also have an old Goldmine database, will BCM convert that database for use as well? Thanks so much for any help anyone may offer.
  • 2. Task Notification?
    I was wondering if when tasks are assigned to "users" in BCM, is there any kind of notification that can be turned on? We are attempting to try this product with our attorneys/Marketing department. I realize that the task will show up in the individual's list and they'll be able to access it from the BCM project section but we know the attorneys will not want to go directly into BCM. Many of them have a lot of tasks so a new one slipping in there will probably go unnoticed. Is there a way to send an email notification when a new task is assigned? Thanks!
  • 3. email merge to show in communication history
    I want to send an email to many recipients in BCM through mail merge in MS Word. I would like the sent email to show in the history for each recipient. How do i do this? Is there another process that would meet the same end? Thanks so much.

Recovering BCM data file?

My harddrive crashed, and I am replacing it. Meanwhile, I have a full backup 
of that harddrive, in a "browsable" format. Since I'm using another computer 
until mine gets fixed, and I have access to the original backup image, I 
would like to recover my BCM database to my new computer.

Where in the file structure can I find the BCM database?

Thank you very much!

The BCM database is typically in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager

1.Recovering Data From BCM 2007

Frankly, I've had it with BCM... this is the third time it has mysteriously 
stopped working. My set up is not all that complicated and I do nothing 
particularly fancy. This time it just quit and I've spent DAYS on trying to 
get it working. The program shows up in Control Panel (SP2)... but it just 
won't open. Attempts to uninstall and reinstall are fruitless and I've tried 
every suggestion I've found. The installation Wizard just quits. Or I'll get 
to the point of selecting a new or existing DB and the program freezes when I 
try to either.

The DB file(s) of contacts does, in fact exist--I can find it using 
Explorer. I want my data... I'd be thrilled to be able to import it into an 
Outlook and use it as a simple contact file... or even get it open as a 
spreadsheet... I don't care if I ever see BCM again. 

Any suggestions will be appreciated... please not the standard ones because 
I'm sure I've tried all of those -- some more than once.

2.Recovering BCM Beta data

I have the trial and now have lost all my BCM data.  I was getting the 
following until I deleted the BCM portion that was being loaded.

Outlook 2007 trial small business.  On start up I get three error messages 
that data entered in the beta cannot be opened in the contact mgr.  So I say 
ok to all and Outlook opens.  When I click on the business contact mgr folder 
under all mail items I get the above error message.

Help?
 
How do I get all my data back?

first, thanks for your help.
okay, as had happened before i tried what you suggested in 3) and
after
trying what you suggested in 3) i have the same result:  i found a
main identity folder containing database, database cache, messages,
preferences, schedules, signatures, rules and mailing lists.  whenever
i open any of those, i get a warning saying my e-mail cannot be sent
until i give my e-mail address and smtp thing.  i click okay, then i
get a blank e-mail template.  close that, then i get a "do you want to
save message?"
close that, then i get a blank, main template for O.E. as if starting
from
scratch, with no previous data at all.  i located all this stuff
awhile ago, but get the same result when opening any of those icons.
meanwhile, during the latest of several unerase searches of my disk
with norton utilities i did find O.E. template and complete data from
2001 (when i first began using O.E.) through march 2002.  though no
data from
3/02 to present day was there, i'll at least take what i can get from
that search.
