How can I set the Outlook "Contacts" button on the Navigation Pane to direct me to my Business Contact Manager contacts, instead of the standard Outlook contacts
Aren't the BCM contacts listed in the navigation pane? You can add the folder if not, but afaik, you can't make the BCM contacts default for that folder. You can set them as default in the address book. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.**--****.com/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.**--****.com/ Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.**--****.com/
1.BCM related Options in Navigation Pane are gone
I am missing the bcm related options e.g. [By Active] [By Follow-up Flag] etc. These where normally available under current view for business contacts, opportunities, project tasks etc. Is there any way to restore these options? After my Outlook 2007 crashed I had to start it wit the parameter /cleanviews. Then the BCM View Options disappeared. Thanks for any help.
2.Contacts button in Navigation Pane opens last Contacts folder acce
If I view another user's Contacts folder then switch to Mail or Calendar and back to Contacts, the contact list displayed is that of the last list I accessed (the other user's) not my contact list. Is there a way to cause the button to always open my Contacts folder?
3.(revised) INSTALL BCM - uninstall BCM - install BCM - still no BCM
An Addendum - 10 minutes later) I just went into the DATA FILE MANAGEMENT setting on OLK (outlook) and added BCM. Like before - it installs it but there is NO TOOLBAR so I cannot restore - move - or add contact to my old BCM contact database. (from a previous version of outlook). SO - my problems are reduced to ADDING THE BCM TOOLBAR to the top of my OUTLOOK 2003 window. I have the OUTLOOK CONNECTOR showing but no BCM. thanx again - in advance - DRIX "Drix" wrote: > HI - whew - please help me get my OUTLOOK w/bcm to show my BC's again. > > I excitedly have the fat 2 disk set of OFFICE SBM 2006.

4.INSTALL BCM - uninstall BCM - install BCM - still no BCM
HI - whew - please help me get my OUTLOOK w/bcm to show my BC's again. I excitedly have the fat 2 disk set of OFFICE SBM 2006. It works but for the BCM (the second most important part after email). In increasingly desperate attempts to get it to function correctly, I read and did most of what was suggested here in this forum. I put in CD ONE to put in OUTLOOK, put in CD 2 to added BCM (and accounting) and after several attempts of install and un-install and re-install I got it to work - BUT with NO TOOLBAR. sigh... 2 days full of frustrating hours I have NO BCM, NO TOOLBAR and NO MORE CLUES as to what to do. PULEEEEZE TEAM MS - help me get back to work here. FEEDBACK CLUES: The registry (as in another post) says: REGDWORD (3) and I've done ALL of the updates. BIG CLUE - I also re-installed WINXP (pro) and noticed it added me (log in name) twice, once as DRIX (primary) and NOW I'm DRIX.millhouse (my network) with my other programs still listed there but w/o functionality to them. (sigh again...) PULEEEZE help me kidz - im losing time - patience - AND the names/numbers to MY CLIENTS!!!!!!! (yikes!) THANX - I'll be here waiting for your holy words of cure. Drix
5.BCM-V2 (Outlook 2003 BCM SP3) TO BCM-V3 (Outlook 2007) Migration
I've got a two backups from my BCM-V2 SP3 installation : A) Completed Export to BCM (From Outlook 2003) B) Database Backup From MSSQL 2003 (Express Ed, or Whatever) I Did a clean install (on Another WorkStation) of Office 2007, then install Outlook BCM-V3 (Witch install MSSQL Express Ed 2005, and creates an empty database) I've follow two differents steps to try to make the migration : A) Import BCM File (From my previous exported BCM (Outlook 2003)). ERROR : Something like "Outlook can't make the last action", and nothing append, another thing is that, I must kill outlook process to get rid of that pop-up (Cancel and BACK buttons doesn't work) B) Restore Database into MSSQL Express 2005: It seams that this last step is the right one, but, when the process is in the middle of the migration, it stops, and shows a pop-up with something like "You're not allowed to restore database, plese contact the owner (my self) of the database, before restore" (This is not the exactly msg, but the meaning is the same) My last chance, is to backup database, with password, and try to restore again, and see what append. No other clue for me, any help ?? Thxs, (Excuse my bad english))
