RE: Office XP Pro / BCM Re-install rjf3123 3/28/2007 12:18:35 AM I apologize to anyone who is looking to answer this ... Found the problem (after scouring a few more postings here). BCM showed up in the diabled list. Enabled it, restored my backup and all is well. Thanks!

Office XP Pro / BCM Re-install rjf3123 3/28/2007 1:03:28 AM I'll try to make this short. Had Office XP Pro & BCM running on my XP Home Edition system - All was working fine. Starting experiencing some goofy things with Office so I decided to uninstall everything and start from scratch. Made a backup copy of my BCM database & my Outlook .pst file. Uninstalled BCM from the control panel, Then uninstalled SQL Server Desktop Engine and finally uninstalled Office. Reinstalled Office (all that is working fine). Reinstalled BCM. Start Outlook & no BCM shows up anywhere. Tried: Start Menu-->Microsoft Office--> Business Contact Manager for Outlook --> Enable Business Contact ... comes back and says it is enabled. Started Outlook, went to File-->Data File Management There was no BCM database so I added one using the same name as my previous database. Everything came back ok. Restarted Outlook and no BCM on the menu bar I've tried uninstalling and reloading Office & BCM a couple times - no install errors but can't get anything to work here. Ideas?

Re: Office XP Pro / BCM Re-install "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 3/29/2007 1:37:06 AM See if Outlook disabled BCM. Goto Help->About Outloot Outlook->Disabled Item (or it could be Help->Disabled Item). Enable it and restart Outlook. -- Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "rjf3123" <rjf3123[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:08AF71E0-85A6-441C-8372-C83C1C52FF80[ at ]microsoft.com...
