How do I transfer all my BCM information to my new PC.

Go to File-Business Database and choose the "backup" option. From here
specify the file and location you would like to export the file to. Next
copy the newly created file to a media and tranfer to the new system. Once
completed open Outlook on the new system and choose Business Database and
choose the "restore" option. Navigate to the location of the file and begin
the process. Data should be restored and on the new system
