how do I reconnect a bcm database stuartlwilliams[ at ]gmail.com 2/14/2007 8:18:46 AM I foolishly didn't use BCM to backup my database when I was transfering computers. I have the original mdf and ldf files, but of course BCM won't recognise them and wants to create a new database. Is there a way to restore/reattach/reconnect, whatever, these databases? I can setup SQL Server if needed.

Re: how do I reconnect a bcm database stuartlwilliams[ at ]gmail.com 2/14/2007 11:52:42 AM As a follow up, I was able to move my existing files onto a sql2000 server and attach the database successfully. is there a way to get BCM to connect to the database there?

Since you know how to attach databases to sql, attach your old database to the sql on your BCM machine. Then during BCM first use the database will show up as available for connecting. If you want to access the database on another machine, you will have to get the BCM port and instance name values in the Registry to match those on your sql server. The database host name is in the BCM store entry in your mail profile.
