Sharing a business contact manager database Tucker Smith 2/23/2007 5:05:20 PM I have Multiple users using Outlook 2k7 with BCM. I want them all to access the same database so they all can see the same data. Is this built in to BCM or do i need additional software(sql?) on a server somewhere?

Re: Sharing a business contact manager database "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 2/23/2007 6:54:49 PM You can setup one machine as a server machine, install Office/BCM, create database, share the database and provide access to other users. Other users will be able to connect to the shared BCM database. You can find more information about sharing scenario on team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm .

Re: Sharing a business contact manager database "Durga [MSFT]" <bcmblog[ at ]microsoft.com> 2/23/2007 6:55:22 PM When you install Outlook+BCM 2007 it installs all the software you need (including SQL Express). You don't anything additional. On the server you need to share out the BCM database. All the users must have Outlook+BCM 2007 installed on their machines to connect to the shared database.
