Cannot link to record in Pub

[CFLJoe]

I have MS small business office 2007 w/ Publisher, Outlook (w Bus. Contact
Mgr "BCM"), etc. I use Outlook but haven't done anything with BCM.
Everytime I open Publisher, I get the following message: "cannot link to
record. Before you can link this item to a BCM record: -set outlook as your
default email program; -create your outlook profile and complete the setup
wizard for outlook 2007 w/ business contact mgr." I click the help button,
and try to follow the sets but everything seems to be set. I really don't
understand all this. Can anyone help??

Not sure if these articles will help. You need to ask this in a Small Business
newsgroup.

2007, or in Accounting Express 2007

I have no idea what these links will do for me. Aren't you an expert?? I'm
NOT a PC technocrat (not meant in a demenaing way). I'm just trying to get a
simple answer. AND I don't know how to get in a small business newsgroup.

Hey the last link in the message will get you to the Small Business newsgroup.

In Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options, Programs tab. Set Outlook as your
default email program. In IE 7, Click the "Set Programs", Choose the programs
that Windows uses by default.

I believe this is what is being asked when you open Publisher.
