Business contact manager
I am using Outlook2003, and installed Business Contact manager.
I am using outlook on both my home and business computer: hence I bring my pst file to work and home so that at all time I have all the email ready to hand. BUT........ Outlook business Contact manager doesn't work that straight forward... a) I cannot tell Outlook where to store the contact manager (database) file b) the database file that resides on one computer can apparently not be copied to another computer. So, my questions is: 1) how can I control the location where the Business contact manager stores its data 2) how can I make sure that I can move this Business contact manager file to another computer so I can have all the data at my finger tips wherever I go? Thanks Zen |

You should be able to use the BCM database backup and restore features,
transferring the backup file between machines. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Zen Andreas" wrote in message ...

Business contact manager
but what about controlling where it stores the files?
for example: all my outlook files are stored in a user specified directory. With BCM I can't see this is possible??? It seem a bit duff it really isn't possible, so I assume somehow it must be possible to direct the directory that should store the BCM data.... (I hope!)

It's not a simple file, but a database. You have to let BCM control the
database installation and location. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Zen Andreas" wrote in message ... but what about controlling where it stores the files? for example: all my outlook files are stored in a user specified directory.
