Buisness contacts for outlook enabled, restart outlook wants CD

[Guest]

we bought a new computer and we are trying to install the old stuff. Using a
program to move info wouldn't move outlook and other office stuff.

Followed the directions Enabled Contact manager. When reopening outlook it
wants MS small buisness 2006 edition CD 2. We have MS office 2003. What
gives. We just got this last year or so!

There is a way to solve that, but it may be complicated.

Let's see if we can simply redo this correctly though as it would be faster.
I will presume that you still have your old PC.

1. Your Outlook data is in Start -> Run -> "%userprofile%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook" -> OK so copy it to the new
machine or to a CD.
2. Your BCM data needs to be backed up using the BCM tool in Business
Tools -> Manage Database -> Backup and copy that backup file to a CD or to
your new machine
3. On the new machine, uninstall Office completely and reboot
4. Install Office 2003
5. Update it to the current release of Office through Microsoft Office
Update
6. Download BCM V2 Update and then BCM/SBA 2006 SP3 (I link to these from my
website)
7. Import your old Outlook data from the CD using the File -> import feature
of Outlook 2003
8. Install BCM V2 Update and BCM SP3 with an empty database
9. Confirm that BCM is working correctly and go to Business Tools -> Manage
Database -> Restore

This procedure will be posted on my website.
