BCM Add-In iNexxFear 2/8/2007 12:45:01 AM Hi Folks, Hoping someone can help me... I have Office 2007 Ultimate with BCM installed. I run these apps on a laptop, and while I'm away I would just prefer to not have the add-in running in outlook. If the BCM client can not find a server it leaves outlook.exe running and in memory. Therefore it helps drain my laptop battery a bit more than I need help with already. However, If I go into Tools, Trust Center, Click on an active component and then hit the GO button for COM Add-In. The system shows me a list of add-ins available. If I try to uncheck the box next to Business Contact Manager I get the following error message: "The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE an not be changed" What does this mean? Does outlook need to be connected to the SQL Server first to disable it? Please advise

Re: BCM Add-In "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/8/2007 9:06:58 PM I would recommend you put your laptop in a suspend or hibernate mode and leave BCM alone. Or, just decide that BCM is a part of Outlook and not to worry about it. I would not disable BCM in the Trust Center and then enable it again -- too much potential for big errors! Hope that helps, Lon PS: Or, get a bigger battery! _________________________________________________ Lon Orenstein pinpointtools Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com www.pinpointtools.com "iNexxFear" <iNexxFear[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DB91B61A-867A-4891-A18E-1D5B560D7E6F[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: BCM Add-In iNexxFear 2/8/2007 9:22:00 PM Why do you say that modifying BCM can lead to potential errors? Just curious as to your backgrounds or feelings on this statement... I don't understand how it can affect the contents seeing how the SQL database is shut down already.

RE: BCM Add-In IT Mentor 2/9/2007 4:19:01 AM I personally run XPpro with Office2007 Enterprise plus BCM and SBS2003r2 without any issues. However, computers are not irons, so we always have many wrinkles. I don't want to assume anything here. Since you mentioned a server... Are you connecting Outlook to an Exchange Server? If so, which version? are Offline folders enabled? Have you enabled email linking for the BCM? Which version of windows are you running? Please add anything you feel might help diag. Thanks and I hope I can help. "iNexxFear" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi Folks, > > Hoping someone can help me...
