Sharing a BCM Database with Domain Users je7383 10.07.2006 23:04:02 I'm using Outlook 2003 with BCM and am having problems sharing the database with another domain user. When I add the user and fill in the username and domain, it looks like it is going to add the user. It lists domain\username in the list of users to share with, but after I click finish, the domain user disappears. If I click the Browse button, the only location that it allows me to choose users from is the local machine. It won't allow me to add domain users. The account that I'm sharing the database under is a local administrator, but not a domain admin. The workstation where the DB is located is not using simple file sharing, but I granted everyone full permission to the directory as a test, but it didn't help. Thanks. -- JE

Re: Sharing a BCM Database with Domain Users "Luther" <enowning[ at ]gmail.com> 11.07.2006 17:00:59 File and directory permissions should not matter. The key is whether the user has permission to connect to the database. [Quoted Text] > If I click the Browse button, the only location that it allows me to choose > users from is the local machine. It won't allow me to add domain users. Try typing in the user with domain, like this: thisdomain\theuser je7383 wrote: > I'm using Outlook 2003 with BCM and am having problems sharing the database > with another domain user. > > When I add the user and fill in the username and domain, it looks like it is > going to add the user.

Re: Sharing a BCM Database with Domain Users "TALON" <billyringoky[ at ]hotmail.com> 12.07.2006 18:18:19 I am having the same issue, as are many users, I found this during an exhausting search http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/e/1/ce1ddfb8-ef91-4324-a9c7-28365087441f/W09_Troubleshooting.pdf Hope it helps

Re: Sharing a BCM Database with Domain Users je7383 19.07.2006 15:50:02 Thanks for the info! When I returned to the client site where this is taking place, more strange things were happening. When I went back into Outlook on the machine that I was trying to share the data from, all of the BCM menus and toolbars had disappeared, and were no longer able to be activated. THe database was accessible though. I uninstalled (including removal of files and registry keys) and re-installed both Office and BCM several time to no avail. Finally, I logged into the same workstation as a different user and all worked fine. When I logged back in as the original user however, everything (BCM Menus etc...) was inaccessible. The client had said that other strange things were happening as well, so they are going to re-format and re-load then call me back in. I bet that it takes care of the problem, but I'll post upon my return. Thanks for the input.
