BUSINESS CONTACT MANAGER FOR OUTOOK COULD NOT COMPLETE YOUR LAST A
JEREMIAH ILGES | THE OHIO GROUP
OFFICE 2007 with small business accounting and BCM. I have called my contacts
at Microsoft and have been given the runaround. I am trying to sell this
software to customers but how can I justify the sale of a new product when I
can’t get it to operate properly from the start. As soon as I switch folders
or go to contacts or any other place in outlook, get the message "BUSINESS
CONTACT MANAGER FOR OUTOOK COULD NOT COMPLETE YOUR LAST ACTION OR ACTIONS.
PLEASE TRY AGAIN."
I am running the full version software, not any beta. Any ideas?

This can be caused by the SQL not correctly installed, or the SQL
service not running.
1. Go to Services.msc and verify that "SQL SERVER (MSSMLBIZ)" is
running.
2. Also, use eventvwr to look for bad things.
3. Finally, did you EVER have beta software on this machine? If so,
recommend a format and re-install. Things get left behind.
Hope this helps,

relation to attempts to open password-protected user files (pst) from within
Outlook for Office 2003 with the latest Business Contact Manager Update
(installed yesterday). I can access the .pst by closing it within Outlook
and reopening it, however, no password is then requested and every keystroke
associated with navigating the records within that file is then accompanied
by the Business Contact Manager message: "The operation cannot be performed
because the object has been deleted." The operating system is completely up
to date (just checked yesterday for the Windows version, Office 2003 sp2 and
Outlook 2003 updates. All good).

.pst, and I can view them in the preview pane, but I cannot open them nor
work with them in any way. If I drag a record from the broken .pst, however,
to one that is not broken... I can work with it just fine.

I think that the common ground is password protected files. My PST is also
password protected for security reasons, so I wonder if there will be a patch
out anytime soon. I'm about to go back to Outlook 2003 and write off BCM
completely. This is such a hassle.

on BCM last night. If you do decide to uninstall it, please be careful. It
is not intuitive and it's easy to cause more harm than good if you follow
some of the advice on these message boards as stated. For instance, if you
use the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" facility, and delete "BCM" as
indicated by many, you'll be deleting the Dell Broad Com Modem driver and,
effectively, destroying access to the internet (which is where you'd need to
go to recover the driver). The Business Contact Manager is actually (and
misleadingly, as noted by many others) listed as something like: "Microsoft
Outlook with Business Contact Manager" in the applications list. This
implies that, if you delete Business Contact Manager, you also have to delete
Outlook. That doesn't appear to be true. I deleted that and Outlook seemed
to return to 2003 status without the Business Contact Manager. The desktop
SQL Server is another problem. You apparently have to delete it, also, in
order to stop the madness. I did, but the icon is still in my status bar. I
supposed I'll find out more when I reboot... .but I've been too scared to try
that, yet. Anyway.... good luck to you, sir.

complete your last action or actions. Please try again.":
Check if Outlook has not disabled the Business Contact Manager files - go to
"Help" - "Disabled Items" and check the list.... in my case it was there and
it was a simple matter of "Enable" and it was running fine again.
Good Luck!
Best regards,

I'm having exactly the same error messages.
I have a freshly installed Windows XP machine with SP2 and all updates. Then
a fresh install of Office 2007 Small Business with BCM.
SQL server is running
No relevant erros in the viewer
No disabled items listed.
Any other ideas what it could be. Right now, the software is quite unusable.

exactly when Dvuser does below. (switching between folders) My
configurations is as follows:
-SBS 2003 with Exchange
-SQL Database for BCM resides on the server
-5 users share the database through Outlook 2007 w/BCM on their workstations
-All workstations have the same patch level but only two of them are
experiencing this problem
Also, sometimes a user will update BCM but others do not see it right away.
Does BCM only poll the database every so often? If so how can I reduce this
interval?
Thanks,

Do the two users experiencing the problem have password protected
PSTs?
With shared databases, I've noticed updates on one machine sometimes
showing up on another machine within a second. It may depend on what
you are doing. The changes may show up immediately in folder views but
not in forms opened before the change.

with Business Contect Manager under Vista Utlimate. The program has been
runnig OK since I installed it a couple of months ago but when I went to
swithch to BCM folder I get the error message which repeats a dozen times or
more then stop but nothing is displayed. My business contacts are displayed
so the file BCM file is open. I checked my update history and note SQL Server
2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 was applied a copule of days ago. I
suspect that this is where the problem is as I have made no other changes.
Not sure how to proceed?

Here's what fixed it for me and hopefully it will help someone else out there.
My issues seem to be related to some corrupt registry keys under my user
account.
The fix:
run reg edit: Start->Run->regedit
Go under the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder
Then go under "Software"
Then right click on the "Microsoft" folder and export it to some file as a
backup.
After making a backup we deleted the following two folder under the
"Microsoft" category.
"BusinessSolutions eCRM"
"Office"
Then logged off of the machine and logged back in.
After this I was able to launch Outlook 2007 and BCM and I did not get any
of the crazy behaviors I was experiencing.
Hope this can help someone else out there..
Regards,
Jim

Having read your post and realizing that, for a while, I had the Beta version of Office 2010 installed (I?m back to my original license of Office 2003 now), and having tried everyting everybody has suggested without ressults; I am confronted with the possibility of formating.
I have purchased an Office 2007 Small Business license which I have not installed yet. I don't know if I should format or try installing the 2007 license without formatting and see if I'm lucky.
My precise problem is that I get the "Business Contact Manager For Outlook Could Not Complete your Last Action or Actions" and then the form for the contact or account or note does not inicialize. Then I get a second message stating: "Contact Manager was Unable to initialize this form" This message has a cumulative fashion on a particular contact or form. It repeats as many times as I try to open a particular form in BCM.
All my contacts are there, but I can't initialize the form, therefore con not see any of them.
Thanks in advance.
