bcm 2003 does not reconize its data bases Seymour 3/9/2007 1:27:11 PM I needed to do a complete reinstall of XP (sp2...), Outlook 2003 and BCM. Unfortunately BCM does not recognize the data bases it created previously. Sugeestions on how I can encourage BCM to see the light or what commands can i use to see the meta data for these data bases. I have not changed user id, and the db's are in the folder expected by BCM.. Help !!

Unlike BCM 2007, earlier versions would not automatically attach the database files to the BCM sql server instance. So you will need to attach them yourself and then the databases will show up in BCM. If you don't know how to attach databases, the steps have been explained before in this newsgroup.
