Is this really the only good way? I guess there's no way to create to
either create the DB locally but move it to a server, or to create it on a
remote location? Just checked, doesn't appear to be a way to create it
remotely.

Oh, well, maybe with V3 we can create it on a remote location.
 
It quite possible to create the db manually (no Outlook/BCM) on a
server. It's just more complicated. There are a bunch of settings you
have to get right; i.e. everything BCM does for you.

The first beta of v3 has the option to create a database on another
machine, if everything was configured (everyone has the right
permissions, etc.) just right. I hope this has improved in beta 2, and
the documentation catches up.
 
Hi Luther,

Do you have a step by step guide on how to create the db manually like you
mentioned? Or a link where I can get that info? It would be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
I don't know of such a document, but I think every step and factor has
been posted to this newsgroup at one time or another. There also appear
to be BCM consultants on this newsgroup with the 'knowledge'. If you
figure it out and write down the steps, send it to the group and I'll
find a permanent home for it on the web.
