When I first had my error i noted that my BCM Database file was not
present in the appropriate folder:
i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager
and the database files that were there were the blank files that you
start with when the BCM add in was first installed.
Now that I want to use the service again I have copied my former backup
files to the local \Business Contact Manager file.
When I run File>Data File Management>Add>Business Contact Manager
Database>Select Database the database name field is blank even though
.mdf &.ldf files are present.
Can anyone shed any light on what i might be doing wrong? I spent a lot
of time building up my BCM and would very much like to salvage what i
can.
thanks in Advance!
Mounting a database is straightforward with sql tools, but I'm not
sure how to do it with just bcm and the server installed.
Perhaps someone knows the command for mounting a database from oqsl?
Many thanks for your assistance!
I have tried to attach the database file as mentioned in the post but
am generation the error:
[DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
[DENETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect())
Here is the command line I am using:
C:\OSQL -E -S .\MSSQL$MICROSFOTSMLBIZ -d master -Q"CREATE DATABASE
MSSmallBusiness ON (FILENAME = 'C:\Documents and
Settings\CStewart\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Business
Contact Manager\MSBusinessContactManager3.mdf') FOR ATTACH"
As 'MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ' is the server instance name I found by
looking at my SQL Server service in Services and
'MSBusinessContactManager3.mdf' is the name of the file created during
the last successful backup of BCM.
Do I have this entered wrong?
Other possibilities: ensure that service is running and that you are
member of NT's Aministrators group.
