Re: BCS error when rebuilding database. "Chris Heydemann [MSFT]" <chrishey[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 2/13/2007 4:42:48 PM Murf, I'm assuming you mean "BCM" not "BCS", and that by "repair" you mean "check for errors"? What version of BCM are you using? Please try one or more of the following: 1. Enable logging in Help, About and repeat the operation. Then look at the log file in %temp%. Don't forget to turn off logging when you're done. 2. Contact support at http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=1&gprid=11335 3. Export your data to a .bcm file, create a new database, then re-import. The try again to create a backup.

Re: BCS error when rebuilding database. themurf 2/14/2007 2:51:55 PM Chris, thanks for the quick response. To start, I found that there were 3 instances of BCM databases on my computer. I deleted the two not being used. Second, There are several folders in my SQL database folder: MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM MSSQL$MICROSOFTMLBIZ MSSQL$NR2005 MSSQL.1 Is this correct? From something I read in a help screen somewhere there seems to be more than needed. I am using NeatReceipts which also uses SQL server and possibly another program but I am not 100% sure about that. I followed your instructions and created a new database and the result appears to be as desired. I was able to import and check the file properly. I closed the program and reopened and everything appears to be as it should be. Time will actually be the determiner of that I suspect. Thanks again for your kind assistance with this issue. Now if you can please tell me a quick way to get rid of al the ice outside.
