SQL DESKTOP NOT CONFIGURED(?) Knot2Brite 5/4/2007 11:55:00 AM I am a dummy. I chose all the defaults when loading BCM. The SQL icon on my taskbar says "not connected." I assume this is the root of my issues within Outlook. I have no idea of what to do. Stand alone desktop. Lots of HD and RAM. One week old Dell. Dynamic DSL. Thanks, Bob

From the main menu, click on Business Contact Manager, Database Tools, Create or select a database. If there is an entry in the Database Name dropdown, then you have a database and you can click Next. If you get an error, let us know what it says exactly. The Computer Name should be the name of your PC. Also, if you right click on the SQL icon, does it give you an option to Start SQL?
