Business Contact Manager is a horrible app and a thorn in my side. This app really needs some attention from the Microsoft side, or it needs to be put to pasture. It's horribly slow and really bogs Outlook down. Take the 'C' out of the acronym and you have what this app really is -- a 'BM'

Hi I tried the Business Contact Manager and Outlook 2007 and I found out that this application installed SQL Server Express in the background. Even if I exits the Outlook 2007 application, the SQL server is still running. why the SQL Express instance needs to be availabe when the Ms Outlook has been closed?

I'm having same problem as #1 with failed installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express. I went to add/remove programs, the only items listed are

Microsoft SQL Server Native Client

Microsoft SQL Server support files and Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer

I don't see anything specific to "2005 Express". Should I remove all 3 and then try to reinstall BCM?

Hi Mike

I was very pleased to see your blog; however I had tried removing SQL 2005 based on something I saw on Microsoft website. It did not work - but I tried rebooting like you said and am sorry to say I am still in trouble.]

It is not possible to install Disc 2 of my MS 2007 pack - I have all the systems in buy cannot add Business Contact Manager at all.

Any further suggesetions would be much appreciated

Sue

This has been a horrible experience! Microsoft techs spent about 5 -6 hrs trying to figure all of this out. It has taken 3 techs and now it takes 5 mins for outlook to catch up typing 11/20/09. Most unfortunate thing is I do not know enough about computers to help myself. Microsoft has left me in the lurch and now will not even return my URGENT emails of error msgs that I am now getting. I am in worst state now that Microsoft tech has taken control of my computer to work on it than I was before I called.... I just wanted to use the program I paid for.... now I am pulling my hair out to do my daily work.... I hate it. Can someone please help me... I just want to go back to being able to type my emails in less than 5 minutes ..... thanks for putting this blog out there.... now at least I know it is not because I am just not computer wise enough!!
