Business Contact Manager

I created a new user and change the computer name to join SBS 2003. This
workstation was using Business Contact Manager with Outlook 2003. The
original database was MSBusinessContactManager.mdf and
MSBusinessContactManager.ldf.

When I copied the database over to the new user account, setup Business
Contact Manager, File > Data File Management > Add Business Contact Manager
database it won't recognize the database, only the database that was created
under that user account - MSBusinessContactManager2.mdf and
MSBusinessContactManager2.ldf.

I looked through the permissions [at the file level] and set them so the
owner and permission was set to the now current user.

But still cannot access. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Ed Podowski
 
Hi Ed

Try the following

Under the new user account, go into BCM and create a new, Blank Database
that has the same name that the original MDF Files originally had. So if
the old MDF file was named "My_Company.mdf", create a new BCM Database named
"My_Company.mdf"
Close Outlook
Go to Start > Run and type "Services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK
Locate the MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ service and stop it
Copy the original files over the new empty database files with the same
name. They should be in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager

Restart the MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ service
Open Outlook/BCM and connect to the database again

Hope this helps!
