  • 1. error Object not found on opening outlook

  • 2. support for bcm on terminal server
    Hi, is there an offical statement from MS that bcm 2003 is not supported on TS? Thanks in advance
  • 3. Managing distribution lists subscriptions
    Is there a way to manage a contacts subscription to different distribution lists from the contact card itself, rather than going into the different distribution lists and manually making changes?
  • 4. backup and restore
    i just got a new computer but before I scrapped the old system, i did a backup to disk for both outlook and BCM. i re-installed outlook 2003 w/BCM onto a new hard drive and installed the old hard drive (still has the data) as a slave to use as back-up in the future. i was able to import my pst files fine. The BCM contact info also came back but all of my business history is located in the journal area and will no longer show up when an individual contact is opened. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
  • 5. Install/Setup/Navigation
    I just downloaded a trial copy of Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. I tried other contact management software, but was less than impressed. I have been trying to customize a layout because I have so much information that I need to maintain on each client that I need more than the allowed number of fields on the "user-defined fields" page (apparently 40?). My first question is, can I add multiple layouts (pages of information)? Second, can I name the layout. Right now, it just says "User-defined". Third, the program runs VERY slowly as compared to Outlook 2003. Fourth, every once in a while, when I try to access the Business Contact Manager, I get an error message saying "Cannot display the folder. This action cannot be completed because Business Contact Manager cannot access the database. The database is currently stopped." When I go to select the database, the operation fails; then it opens the 'create or select a Business Contact Management datbase' dialog box and when I select the database and click "Connect", it fails. Any possible reasons? Fifth, how do you view the other forms or pages in the preview pane? I can only get General. Finally, if I don't want to stay with this program, how can I revert back to Outlook 2003 and make sure I retain my data? I need help.

Run the BCM database on a SQL server 2000

Postby VG9t » Fri, 09 Sep 2005 20:56:02 GMT 

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

Hi Tom,

You can see the discussions on Queries on migration from MSDE to SQL Server 
at: 
 http://www.**--****.com/ +to+SQL+server&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.bcm&cat=en-us-office-outlook&lang=en&cr=US&pt=50663fd1-dbad-4705-b915-e4cf683e70fe&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us 

BCM Database doe not have an offline status and the client needs to be 
connected to the server where the BCM Database resides for the user to use 
BCM.

1.BCM database on SQL Server 2000 

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

5.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
