  • Building an ODBC connection to Outlook Business Contact Manager database.

    I am trying to build an ODBC connection to our Outlook Business Contact Manager.
    It is SQLEXPRESS.  Do I use the More Data Connections Outlook option?  If so, I tried and it prompts me to install something, which I do not believe I have?  Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Carol

    If you are using ODBC then you need to create a DSN in the ODBC administrator first. Then in Crystal select ODBC (RDO) under create new connection, this will list all of your ODBC DSNs.

  • Office 365 Outlook 2013 and Business Contact Manager Performance issues

    I have some slowness with Outlook 365 at times. Most of the times, Outlook will have to restart. I use Business Contact
    Manager so I cannot turn off Exchange Cache. Are there some steps I can follow to troubleshoot? The problems started 7 days ago and seem to be getting worse. 

    Hi,
    The Outlook slowness problem can be caused by many factors, one common cause is some 3rd-party add-ins. We can troubleshoot in Outlook Safe Mode first:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    We can also check the OST file size since large .ost files can also slow the performance of Outlook.
    Make sure that offline OST file in Outlook isn't too large. A large OST file may indicate corruption or fragmentation of the file. This can affect performance.
    In Outlook, right-click the mailbox in the navigation pane, and then click
    Properties.
    Click Folder Size, and then note the Total size value on the
    Local Data tab.
    Open the Outlook system folder by opening the following folder path, depending on the operating system:
    Windows 7 or Windows Vista: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
    Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
    Note the size of the OST file for the user’s Outlook profile. If the OST file is more than 3 to 4 gigabytes (GB) larger than the
    Total size value, the file may be corrupted or fragmented. Close Outlook, rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.
    Some other troubleshoot steps can be found in this Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

    We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013.  Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
    Shows fields that don't exist etc.
    The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
    Chris Smith

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
    Then go to
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
    If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

  • I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook.  ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

    I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar.  They have stopped syncing...mostly.
    Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine.  But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar.  If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
    Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
    All syncing works with my iPhone.
    I have signed out of iCloud on PC.  I have stopped syncing and re-started.  No change.
    I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud.  I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot.  However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.
    Jim Robbins

    Hi Jim!
    You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
    Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
    If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
    When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the Windows Control Panel:
    In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    Outlook 2010:
    Open Outlook 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • How could I install outlook with business contact manager 2007 in windows 8.1 system?

    Recently I got a new 8 win pc, then I tried to instal Outlook with business contact manager 2007 but I couldn´t
    The reason: sql server is not compatible. Would you please let me know how to fix that problem?

    Hi CarlosZC,
    Since the issue regards Outlook with business contact manager 2007. I suggestion you post the question in the Outlook forums at
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=question&status=all&auth=1. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    According to your description, we need to verify the version of the SQL Server, usually the warning of compatibility issues applies to all SQL Server Express editions when installing Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2007 on Windows 7/8. The incompatibility
    was fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack1 and SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on Windows 7.
    There is a similar issue about compatibility message when installing BCM 2007 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.

  • Business Contact Manager Plugin does not install successfully in Outlook 2010 Professional Plus

    I work for a company that has provided me with a volume licensed version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. We do a lot of customer tracking so I looked into options to utilize Outlook and found out about the Business Contact Manager plugin. I tried
    to download and install it from the public site but was informed that the public version would not work and that I would need to request a compatible version from my company that they could access through a contracted download portal.
    I worked with support and they were able to locate the file and install it on my computer. Once I tried to start working with it though I found that there was no Business Contact Manager tab or any of the additional functionality that I needed.
    I contacted support to follow up and they again tried several times to install the plug in, but although there was never any error message the installation also never resulted in the business contact manager tab being added or in any reference to it being
    added to my list of plugins.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, can you see any version of Business Contact Manager installed? If yes, please uninstall it first from there, then delete the registry keys below(if they exist):
    ImportantThis
    section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry
    before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\microsoft.businesssolutions.ecrm..outlookaddin..connect.1

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Business Solutions eCRM
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Business Contact Manager
    Then we can try performing a clean boot to install Business Contact Manager again. In Clean Boot Mode, it can eliminate the conflict by background programs as much as possible. Check if you can install it properly:

  • Business Contact Manager for Outlook 365

    I have a laptop with 8.1 OS and Office 2013 loaded and running fine. Use Business Contact Manager on my laptop and it works fine.
    Can do the all the same on Office 365 except for Business Contact Manager.  It is listed and shows up under Tasks but nothing happens when it is selected.

    Hi,
    I think the "Office 365" in the second paragraph should be Outlook 2013 in this customer's post.
    Please go to FILE -> Options -> Add-ins, check if BCM is disabled or inactive. Enable it and start Outlook again to check the result.

  • Business Contact Manager add-in crashes Outlook when EMET 5.0 is installed

    We have Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, and some of our users have Business Contact Manager (BCM).  Once we installed EMET 5.0 with the Recommended settings, the BCM add-in would crash Outlook.  EMET logs no messages to the Event Log.  The
    only entry in the Event Log is Event 1023 from .Net Runtime stating:
    .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.5485 - CLR: Fatal Execution Engine Error (000007FEF798600A) (80131506)
    I'm guessing no one else uses BCM and EMET as these forums and the rest of the Internet are devoid of any related posts.  We've tried toggling DEP, SEHOP, ASLR settings based on other posts about problems with other Outlook add-ins and EMET without
    any change in behavior.  We have tried removing the OUTLOOK.EXE entry from the list of apps in EMET, but Outlook always loads with a green check mark in the "Running EMET" column. 
    Are there any settings for Outlook in EMET so that it will work with the BCM add-in?
    Assuming #2 is too complicated, is there any way to keep EMET from running Outlook as an EMET-protected process?  As I mentioned above, I've removed it from the App list in EMET but EMET still insists OUTLOOK.EXE is "Running EMET".
    Any help would be appreciated.  Otherwise, we're scrapping EMET.
    -Nate

    If you remove the Outlook.exe entry from the list of apps and it still shows as protected the changes you have made are not active. I guess that the changes you make when you toggle a protection for the Outlook process are also not active for the same reason.
    Did you check if your changes are activated by using the 'EMET_Conf.exe --list' command from an elevated command prompt?
    Do you use a Group Policy to configure EMET? In EMET 4.1 you must use 'EMET_Conf.exe --refresh' if you made a change in the policy settings and after the policies are applied. In EMET 5.0 the service takes care of that but maybe there is a delay or the group
    policy settings are overruling the settings from the GUI and therefore also the changes you make through the GUI.

  • Synching Contacts for Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager

    Is there anyway to get the ipod Nano to sync with a business contact manager contacts list.
    When I choose to sync it doesn't show me any groups or contact lists. It does sync my normal contacts but not my business contacts in business contact manager. DOes anyone know if Ipodsync will do this?

    From Business Contacts, you can drag a business contact and drop it on the contacts database.  This creates a copy of the business contact in the traditional Outlook Contacts Folder which will synch to your BlackBerry.  It's manual and not a perfect solution but it works.

  • Can I use Business Contact Manager in Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Pro?

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac and use the Office Suite for work, so I installed the Office 2011 for Mac. We use Business Contact Manager to manage our contacts and conversations at work (mostly for records of email exchanges and phone conversations), but I can't seem to figure out a way to install that add-on in the Mac version of the Office Suite. Any suggestions?

    Why would you use two?
    It is much cheaper and better to simply use a usb drive..
    The TC cannot be linked to store files or automatically back them up.. whereas a usb drive at least will be backed up by Time Machine.
    If you want to do this properly get a real NAS.. that has mirrored drives and real rsync type backup. You can use an airport extreme for wireless.
