upgrade to business contact manager version 2 arto 6/7/2007 8:30:00 PM I installed Outlook 2003 and Business Contact Manager on a new computer. It shows BCM version 1. My old computer running Outlook 2003 shows BCM version 2. How do I upgrade to BCM version 2?

BCM v.1 & 2 were both so hindered in their various beta-level capabilities and restrictions. I would highly recommend you consider BCM v. 3 for your new PC. It is more stable and an entirely different animal. It's FAR from perfect but something that you may be actually able to use. -THP arto wrote: [Quoted Text] >I installed Outlook 2003 and Business Contact Manager on a new computer.

Re: upgrade to business contact manager version 2 arto 6/8/2007 3:52:00 PM Thanks for the response. Checking the Microsoft site for BCM v3 I see that I need to be running Small Business Server. I have been running this stand alone on the old machine. Do you know of a stand alone version?

Re: upgrade to business contact manager version 2 "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" <u8453[ at ]uwe> 6/8/2007 5:29:13 PM You must have misunderstood the site you read. You do NOT need to run v.3 on a server. Most users have BCM as a stand alone add-in to Outlook 2007. It comes packaged with either the Small Business, Professional, or Ultimate versions of the Office System -THP arto wrote: [Quoted Text] >Thanks for the response.

Re: upgrade to business contact manager version 2 arto 6/8/2007 5:45:00 PM Note below that I am running Outlook 2003. I tried to install v2 and v3 from downloads and both failed referencing the lack of Small Business Server. Instead I found the following link to upgrade BCM for Outlook 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=3AEC8B42-6DC5-4922-9DFB-1C82237D6B62&displaylang=en This link allowed me to upgrade to version 2. From there I could install Service Pack 3. Thanks for the response. "mrtimpeterson via OfficeKB.com" wrote: [Quoted Text] > You must have misunderstood the site you read.

V3 only works with Outlook 2007. An Tim is right about the server issue. BCM is mainly designed to run on a single machine for a single user. Shared users were added in V2, and V3 added support for installing the database on a server--without Outlook, but I believe private databases are still the most common.
