I am running a dual boot laptop with Windows XP and Windows 7. BCM in XP is
perfect however in Windows 7 it does not load. I had no errors on the install
and I am trying to share the same database as the XP one.

Is this possible. IF so can anyone tell me how to get it to access the XP
database in Outlook 2007 on Windows 7?

Thanks

Hi SpudOz,
Have you first tried sharing the database (from XP) with yourself, and
then tried to load that database from Win7?
You did mention "I am trying to share the same database", but I wanted
to make sure.

To share a database, point to the "Business Contact Manager" menu in
Outlook 2007, then "Database Tools". In the Sharing Wizard, make sure
you turn on sharing.
Thanks,
John
