Nihat:

There is an SDK available for BCM that allows you to write links to
integrate it with other software programs. Check it out on the BCM Team
blog or the BCM area on Office Online.

HTH,
Lon

BCM runs as a service, so I would first of all caution you not to talk
directly to the database. You can learn a lot from reading the database so
you'll know its data structure, but you'll have to get the OUTLOOK SDK so
you can talk to the individual objects. Be mindful, tha BCM has its own
underlying logic and so you'll have to talk to the object explicitly to get
your business done. If you're just reading elements, you can talk to the
database directly, otherwise I'd use the SDK. To start with, use MS ACCESS
to connect to the tables and see how they are assembled. The MDF file is
located in the personal folder and you can see them in the SQL STUDIO
EXPRESS via the MICROSOFTSMLBIZ instance. Depending on what you're doing
and what is supported in your ERP, I would either code the application using
MS ACCESS and use VBA or write a full blown VB.NET application. Let me know
if you need help.
