I must be blind! AGF 12/30/2008 7:21:35 PM I want to interface my BCM database with Access for reporting. So I followed the many posts here to find my BCM database (C:\Documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager) and there is not a .lbf or a .mdf file in the BCM folder. The only thing there is the registration.xml and the startupservice.ini files. My BCM database name is MSSmallBusiness3. I have searched the hard drive for these extensions and db name and come up with nothing. But yet everything works fine. Any thoughts on why I can not find anything?
