BCM running in Vista Andrew Brott 4/18/2007 1:12:01 AM I'm running the latest BCM in Windows XP SP2 with Office 2007. I rely on it heavily for scheduling everything. I'd love to be able to run my Vista Business edition which is on another partition of the drive, but when I run BCM in Vista I constantly get a message stating that "BCM could not complete the last task" then Outlook fails and restarts. Makes it a little tough to get work done. Any Suggestions? -- Andrew Brott Three Creeks Computing, Inc. www.threecreekscomputing.com

Re: BCM running in Vista "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 4/18/2007 2:06:37 PM Andrew: I had a similar problem and created a new Profile in Control Panel, Mail. I connected the same PST and BCM file but the profile must have been corrupted. As soon as I started using the new one, the messages stopped. This was after doing a Check for Errors on the BCM db and a scanpst on the PST file...

Re: BCM running in Vista Darryl Smith 4/18/2007 3:52:07 PM Hi Lon I was just reviewing your website and I am considering purchasing your material, however I can not get BCM to work at a decent speed and without constant errors. I have been going everywhere to fix the problem and have downloaded as many updates as I could find from Microsoft. Any ideas on how I can get it to work as fast as the online demo from Microsoft? I would appreciate your help. "Lon Orenstein" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Andrew: > > I had a similar problem and created a new Profile in Control Panel, Mail.

Re: BCM running in Vista "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 4/18/2007 8:44:07 PM Darryl: Thanks much! You've got big questions and I'm not sure I have all the answers... I'd be glad to discuss it with you offline -- please call me at your convenience. My generic answer to you is this: your real world scenario will always be less pristine and more complicated than Microsoft's demo environment!

BCM in Vista Sam 4/25/2007 3:14:30 PM I have having similar problems until the SQL DB just quit. I then discovered that a SQL Express patch needed to be applied to work effectively with Vista. Sam EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com
