Re: Problem backing up BCM 2007 since upgraded to vista steveinhalifax 5/31/2007 12:14:00 AM I am a mouth breather when it comes to this stuff. How do I give that service permission to do so? I am running it stand alone on a notebook. thanks -- steve "Luther" wrote: [Quoted Text] > On May 29, 7:30 am, steveinhalifax > <steveinhali...[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > I recieve the error message "Operating System error 5 (Access Denied)" when I > > try to back up BCM since upgrading to Vista.

Re: Problem backing up BCM 2007 since upgraded to vista "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 6/1/2007 8:39:18 AM Don't you just love how MS designs these stupid user permission issues to just pop up with no advanced awareness for the actual "user" to really understand unless the "user" is an IT guy with advanced familiarity. I really dig the messages that state "An error has occurred please refer to the Administrator" which is just wonderful when "I" am the Administrator and don't have a clue what to do! It's kind of like you are driving down the road and your car suddenly comes to a stop (an obvious and diagnosable problem to the driver). Suddenly an idiot light flashes stating: An error has occurred, please refer to the driver! You are now thinking..."Hmm, thanks for such a helpful message guys." Why not just allow the Network Services running the sql server.exe service to intially grant such permission by default? I am sure there are probably hundreds of good reasons far beyond my level of expertise to understand for this. -THP steveinhalifax wrote: [Quoted Text] >I am a mouth breather when it comes to this stuff.

Re: Problem backing up BCM 2007 since upgraded to vista "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 6/1/2007 8:48:39 AM Steve, An additional comment: I ran into a similiar mystery error message about a month ago after upgrading to Vista. This may or may not apply to you but I concluded that my db somehow became corrupted because I could not back up either. I had to cut the anchor between my BCM db and my Outlook profile and then create a fresh new BCM db. I then restored from my BCM back up and all seemed to be well as I was allowed to do subsequent backups just fine without issue. This was very annoying because I lost all changes to my db since my previous back up and started to be a bit spooked whether BCM would be stable under Vista. Thus far all has been well since so perhaps I can chalk it up as just another hiccup along the joyous highway to Vista heaven. And MS wonders why more folks are sticking with XP and not yet lining up for such fun. -THP mrtimpeterson wrote: [Quoted Text] >Don't you just love how MS designs these stupid user permission issues to >just pop up with no advanced awareness for the actual "user" to really >understand unless the "user" is an IT guy with advanced familiarity.

Re: Problem backing up BCM 2007 since upgraded to vista steveinhalifax 6/4/2007 11:59:00 AM Thank you for your response. I really can't afford to loose what I've got in the database. What if I export the database and do what you suggest and then import it? Any thoughts would be appreciated. -- steve "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Steve, > > An additional comment: I ran into a similiar mystery error message about a > month ago after upgrading to Vista.
