Transfering flags to a new computer? Andy 2/22/2007 8:23:42 PM I have successfully transfered my outlook and BCM data to my new laptop. The only thing that did not seem to transfer is my long list of follow-up flags. Is there a way to transfer this from one computer to another? -- Andy

Re: Transfering flags to a new computer? "Clinton Ford [MSFT]" <ClintonFordMSFT[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 2/23/2007 12:37:03 AM Depends on where you set the follow-up flags. Were the flags set on Outlook items such as e-mail messages or tasks? If so, those follow-up flags live in the Outlook .pst and might not be available on the new laptop. If you set follow-up reminders on BCM items, such as Business Contacts or Accounts, they should appear on the new laptop. How did you transfer the data to the new laptop? Backup/restore, export/import, or copy the physical database files (.mdf, .ldf)? -- Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "Andy" <Andy[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A2C165C3-9F51-4BF5-8C88-0E8ACF5390B1[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Transfering flags to a new computer? Andy 2/24/2007 1:01:47 AM The follow-up flags were on BCM contacts and accounts. The ones that were attached to outllook messages came through ok. The pst file was just copied. The BCM data was transfered using the backup/restore utility. I appreciate your response.

Re: Transfering flags to a new computer? Andy 3/14/2007 2:39:29 PM I never found a resolution so i spent a good part of a day rescheduling all of the flags.

Re: Transfering flags to a new computer? Paxford_Pete 5/19/2007 11:10:01 AM I also have the same problem - had to rebuild my Vista Home Premium + Office 2007 Pro system from scratch - managed to recover everything (using BCM file restore to get database from recent backup) except all the BCM contacts' follow up flags (with date of next contact). I can re-set these if I really have to(!) but what a pain. Also as an aside I lost all my Outlook categories as well.
