recurring error messages
Bob Jones 10/6/2008 9:10:02 PM
At seemingly random times when I have Outlook 2003 open, multiple instances
of a message box pop up, with title: "Business Contact Manager", and text:
"The
operation cannot be performed because the connection to the server is
offline." Each box requires me to click "ok". About 5 boxes will pop up at
a time, requiring me to click "ok" 5 times. If I leave my machine on
overnight, there might be 50 boxes, requiring 50 "ok" clicks. It is very
annoying.

The database is started, I can access it through the business tools tab.

When trying to send a reply to a business contact, the reply is not in the
out box or the sent box. This is when the pop-ups start.

Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?

Other people have reported those symptoms but I don't recall a
solution. You can try searching this newsgroup. You can also try
turning on logging (in the BCM About dialog) and see if the log file
as any additional data when those messages pop up.
