I have MS SQL Server installed on my computer to run with other apps and I have approximately 10 SQL Databases running. Business Contact Manager installed MSDE and wants to run in MSDE instead of detecting that SQL Server was already running on my computer.

Is there any way to move BCM from its own MSDE to my existing SQL Server?

No, it's MSDE only.

Nope. You have to use the MSDE instance that BCM installs./
