cannot open business contact manager file

[functioning funk]

I have Office 2007 running with Vista Ultimate. I have Outlook with BCM.
Since I upgraded from 2003, I cannot open my saved BCM files.

When I try to "import" my files, the only choices I have are .bcm or .bcmx.
When I saved my files MY file extentions became".msbcm" and ".sbb".

Can I ever see my BCM files again???

Hi

You must have created a back up of your database thus it resulted in a .sbb,
..msbcm file type. You can restore your backup by doing the following:
1. Select the 'Business Contact Manager' menu > 'Database Tools' > 'Manage
Database ...'. A dialog box will appear.
2. Click on 'Browse...' and select the desired database you want to restore.

2. Click on 'Restore Databse ...'. Dialog box will pop up.
2. Click on 'Browse...' and select the desired database you want to restore.
