Office 2007 Profession is missing Business Contact Manager

[Guest]

I downloaded and activated Office 2007, and it doesn't seem to include
Business Contact Manager. I checked All Programs, Add/Remove Programs, and
checked the Trust Center for COM Add-ins. Since it's a download, I don't have
an install disk.

Ran into that myself. I had downloaded the 'trial' version of Office2007 Pro
and used it 'til about time it was running out of time. When you download
the trial that way, you get both disk 1 and 2. Disk1 is file X12-30196.exe.
Disk2 is file X13-40150.exe. These are both from my trial ware folder where
I put them upon downloading. Notice that the file name for Disk 1 is the
same as your purchased download. I think what is happening is that the files
are the same, but your "key" tell it whether it is trial or for real. That
being said, I just used the trial disk file2 when I actually installed the
'real' key. It installs just file.

What I'm saying is, go download the trial for Office 2007 Trial, then
install the file for disk 2 (file name above).

Hope this helps. Good luck...

Be sure to get "Download 2" from the web site to get the setup file. Also, see the following posts on the team blog at

Clinton, I have a question for you.

First, I have Vista Ultimate x86, Office 2007 Pro, and MSO Accntg Pro 2007,
AMD 64 +3700 CPU, 2GB mem, good ATI video card w/ 256MB, etc.

My question is this...
-- For starters, I always install clean (especially OS, then office apps,
etc).
-- If I do not try to link BCM / MSOA, both work fine (apart).
-- Have now tried 3-4 times to get BCM / MSOA to cooperate (link).
Reformatted hard drive each time. Just to be sure no hold overs.
-- After each clean install, I try to link BCM and MSOA. I've made sure
databases are on the same drive, usually in the default install location.
Made sure the SQL Express instances are all the same name.
-- When I try to open Outlook immediately afterward the linking attempt, my
BCM / Outlook will dump . It looks like Outlook is loading to the point of
BCM getting going, but then dumps. Everytime. Then gives the message of
something like "Outlook has stopped working..." Then OL shuts down. It will
not open once this behavior starts. I cannot go to a previous restore and
undo. It just does not care. OL will not work once this starts.

Ultimately, I'd like to be able to use the linking. I was able to do so in
the 2003 Office apps and was pretty handy. I'll use BCM and MSOA separately,
unlinked, if need be. But I'd like to make use of this feature. This
feathure is in fact mainly why I switched from Quickbooks to MSOA. It's a
shame to have the ability to link things but they just won't.

It'll probably end up being something funky I'm doing. That's OK. But I'd
sure like some help. Thoughts would be appreciated...

Are you doing the linking in MOA or BCM?
