only to learn that everything is a chore. Some things I have learned that
might help: work in contacts then move (drag them to BCM). You can create
several copies of a contact in Contacts (Control +C, Control +V) and make
each one an individual contact or email address. You can then add to BCM and

| Sorry for the delay in responding, though I'm afraid the answer will

I believe the behavior you're observing is as intended, since BCM can
share all BCM information between users, but it cannot share Outlook
information.
On the first computer, the task is an Outlook task, and so is stored
with Outlook and appears in the ToDo bar. On the second computer, the

| I have installed the trial version of Office Small Business with BCM and
Accounting 2008. I have run the integration wizard but none of the accounts
have transferred across from BCM. I also can't conduct a mail merge in the
trial version of Word.
Is this because I am using the trial version?
If so, it's not very helpful if I can't see if the products do what I am

I just recently set up a database for BCM on my system. I tried copying my

did not. I kept getting an error message, "Some items cannot be copied.
They were either moved or deleted, or access was denied." I am not sure what
this error is referring to. Any guidance would be appreciated.

| How do I synchronize contacts in Outlook with business partner |
Lon Orenstein |

04 Mar 2008 |
| Vanessa:
You would need to put BCM's "master" database on a PC in the office with a
VPN connection so your remote users can connect. They can create an Offline
copy of the BCM database on their PC. If they want to synch it to a handheld
from their PC, they can do it with CompanionLink or Pocket Mirror.

| For some reason your BCM database lose the logical and physical integrity,
this might occur if SQL server get shutdown during some sql transaction. You
need to execute "DBCC CHECKDB" command that assertion suggest.
For more information on that command, please read;

If you have more question, please let me know.
