I am currently using Outlook 2003 only. I will be purchasing a new laptop
with Vista O/S and Office 2007 with Outlook and BCM. I don't know much about
07 at this point, but I would like to run Outlook 07 as a standalone program
and run Outlook 07 w/BCM as a separate program. Reason being, I am a
trainer and I don't want to confuse students that I am teaching the regular
Outlook with all the BCM stuff. Is it possible to configure/run/use without
a big headache??

Much thx to anyone with some thoughts/ideas on this.

Click to expand...

Create different Mail profile in control panel, and set it to prompt
you when Outlook starts up. Then when Outlook starts you can choose
the profile with BCM, and the one without.

If you get the annoying BCM 1st use wizard whenever you start the
profile without BCM, run through the BCM wizard, shutdown Outlook,
then go back to Mail in the Control Panel, and remove BCM from that
profile. The profile will remain marked as having completed the BCM
wizard, but you'll have removed BCM.
 
You may also stop the SQL Server before you start Outlook. Thus it won't find
the database and ask you if you want to reconfigure the database. If you
answer no - BCM won't load. After lectures - just turn on the SQL Server and
restart Outlook.
Not so elegant, but works for me... ;-)
