I am using Outlook2003, and installed Business Contact manager.
I am using outlook on both my home and business computer: hence I
bring my pst file to work and home so that at all time I have all
the email ready to hand. BUT........ Outlook business Contact
manager doesn't work that straight forward...

a) I cannot tell Outlook where to store the contact manager
(database) file
b) the database file that resides on one computer can apparently
not be copied to another computer.

So, my questions is:
1) how can I control the location where the Business contact
manager stores its data
2) how can I make sure that I can move this Business contact
manager file to another computer so I can have all the data at my
finger tips wherever I go?

Thanks

You should be able to use the BCM database backup and restore features,
transferring the backup file between machines.
 
but what about controlling where it stores the files?
for example: all my outlook files are stored in a user specified
directory.
With BCM I can't see this is possible??? It seem a bit duff it
really isn't possible, so I assume somehow it must be possible to
direct the directory that should store the BCM data.... (I hope!)

Thanks,
Zen
 
It's not a simple file, but a database. You have to let BCM control the
database installation and location.
