BCM Database MikeG 3/19/2007 9:45:15 PM My business partner and I share the business contact manager database, which is located on his laptop - the downside being that if he takes his laptop out of the office I am unable to access the database. Is there a way to move the production database to a shared networked disk drive so that we can share it from that location?

Re: BCM Database "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 3/20/2007 12:57:04 AM You will need to install BCM on server. Once you have that you can backup database from laptop and restore on server. If you are using BCM 2007, you can create a database on server machine without having to install Office and BCM. Please see our team blog for more information. Currently it is done through a steps written in whitepaper (link on our blog). We are releasing a tool shortly that will help you create/restore a database on server without having to install BCM. -- Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "MikeG" <MikeG[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D1F94705-456A-43AB-B637-EED4F9A4CAD5[ at ]microsoft.com...
