I have them over on the desktop...I have tried copying them back into the BCM
folder, but it doesn't give you the option to "select" them. I really want
to create new offline DB anyway. The old one is "too" old at this point.

Two weeks ago I had the same problem on my laptop. I had removed the
offline and was unable to get a new one created. I tried everything.
Nothing worked. SOMEHOW, after creating a new user name it let me create
one. I have tried this on these two laptops with no luck.

Is their a registry key that is causing the problem?

Or a NET problem?

I need to get these back up "offline" they are sales people.

Thanks..rt
