OL 2007 w/BCM Transfer to New PC Gordon Staley 5/14/2007 7:58:02 PM In the past (OL 2003 w/o BCM) I would just copy over the .pst file and manually edit the layout to match my old configuration. I have the old and new PCs connected via my home network. It looks like my best bet is to use the Business Data Import and Export wizard to save the BCM data. Then I can use my old "copy the .pst" method to get the balance of the OL information (Task, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) across; after which I'll use the aforementioned wizard to import the BCM data. Is there a better process available? It would be nice to have a way that didn't require so much manual tweaking and fussing. Thanks, Gordon Staley

Re: OL 2007 w/BCM Transfer to New PC Gordon Staley 5/17/2007 5:58:01 PM Thanks for the note. I was aware of the feature, but not sure just how it worked. I just completed the backup and restore. Everything seems to be there. "Luther" wrote: [Quoted Text] > On May 14, 1:00 pm, Gordon Staley > <GordonSta...[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > Oops, sorry about the dupliacte post.

Re: OL 2007 w/BCM Transfer to New PC "John Cosmas" <johncosmas[ at ]charter.net> 5/28/2007 5:33:37 PM No. Be sure and take a snapshot of your CATEGORIES. I have lost it before. Also, as a safe measure, safe any OST files. I presume you know abou the SQL databases living in the MICROSOFTSMLBIZ instance.
