BCM and outlook

[Francois]

Hi,

How can I query directly the Business Contact Manager
database ?

Anybody knows where this is located and in which format ?

Thanks

Francois

Look at

BCM uses MSDE (basically a free cut-down version of SQL Server). The
database is called MSBusinessContactManager and can be foundin the
MICROSOFTBCM instance of MSDE. Not sure if directly querying the db is
possible - Microsoft probably don't recommend it! Is there any export option
in BCM that would do the job?

It can definitely be queried. I've had it open as a linked table in Access.
The main potential issue is that it's full of relationships whose exact
purpose isn't documented.
