how do i convert msbcm 2003 danish version to outlook 007 english

0 / 4 30 Jul 2008
After you export the file to a bcm file type (which is just xml), you might need to set the version number from "3,0" to "3.0". I don't have Danish installed, but from memory it produces the European punctuation, which will make the English version unhappy. Moving between locales can be difficult at the sql level, with collation orders and such. We are aware of the pain. If you have...

Install BCM07 WITHOUT SQL Lite at desktop?
Chris

We've heard this request before. As Luther said, we're optimized for the 5 PC, no "server" market. If you removed SQL from the clients, or did not use Offline, when the boss's computer hosting the BCM DB is switched off or goes home, no-one would be able to access their BCM data. Much safer - for our target market - to leave SQL and allow Offline. HTH, Chris [msft]...
