can I uninstall BCM then re-install it without affecting Outlook

[Guest]

I am having such trouble with the forms in BCM, and I've tried ltos of
things, finally I ended up losing BCM altogether- it has failed to load and I
no longer have the BCM toolbar, etc.

Can I uninstall it, and then maybe re-install it, without losing my regular
Outlook contacts, tasks, calendar and email messages? Thanks.

Yes, although you might not have to. What type of mail account are you
running?

Pop, i believe it's called. But I have tried everything that Sue Mosher on
the programming-forms board suggested, and when I cleared the forms cache,
BCM was no longer available. I just want it to go back to the way it was
before I tried to design an Accounts form. I have to say, this program has
been anything but user-friendly. If you have any ideas, I welcome them!!
Thanks so much.

Ok, I found the thread with you and Sue. She gave you all the right steps.
However, let's go one step further.

Go to Control Panels.
Double click Mail.
Click Data Files.
Do you see an option there for Business Contact Manager?

If so, see if you can add a new data file for BCM and choose your existing
BCM database.

I cannot find a "Mail" option in the Control Panel. ???

I found it - it says it has already been added and cannot be specified twice.
