Cannot access the Business Contacts database. SK 8/18/2006 1:38:02 PM For the past two weeks, I have been unable to access my Business Contacts database. Whenever I start Outlook 2003, I get a warning dialog box titled "Business Contact Manager" with the message "The information store could not be opened". Then Outlook loads without the Business Tools menu. I get the same message when I go to File, Data Management and try to connect the database or create a new database. I have also tried Help, About, Disabled Items, but there are no items disabled. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Cannot access the Business Contacts database. toonman13[ at ]gmail.com 1/12/2007 7:43:29 AM Do you have .Net Framework 2.0 installed? I was having the same problem with several machines. I uninstalled .Net 2.0 and now I can access the database.
