Locating Data Files

[Opie]

All my contact files were on another laptop hard drive. The motherboard went
bad. I have installed Outlook BCM on a new laptop and have my old hard drive
hooked up through a USB port. It shows as Drive G. I have no clue how to
locate and transfer my 3,000 contacts to the new program. Can anyone help?

On the old laptop, look for a file with your database's name and an
MDF extension in this folder
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager.

Copy this file to the same folder on your new machine.

Tell BCM you want to select a new database. If all goes well, that
database should show up as an option. If not, then you'll need to
manually
