In Startup BCM

* Create or Select BCM database

* Select an existing database

The problem I have is the user who tries to connect to the database, is the

owner of the database, why BCM cannot connect to the database?

Please provide some advice.
 
Is the database a shared database?

When you started the setup process for BCM 2007, did you create your

database? If so, you simply select select existing database, click connect,

and then you click next...wait for the database to load ( if you have an

existing database already started)...If it doesn't load after that, I suggest

you exit of out outlook and restart, if you are still having problems you can

use your second CD to run an error check.

Please Remember whatever you do to Back up your database in case something

goes wrong with your system and save it to a flash drive, you can take it

with you wherever you go; if something happens to your BCM on the computer

you have your flash drive to upload again. That's easy :)

You can also try microsoft.com web site under office-then Microsoft

outlook2007 w/BCM has demo info and troubleshooting examples.

Hi Poohbear,

When I startup Outlook, I can create databases. They are listed in the drop

down menu. I only cannot connect to them.

In the beginning a message came up, that the database is no longer shared,

but it disappeared.

Message now: An unknown error occurred while connecting to the database.

Please click Retry. If the error recurs, click Help, which I did.

I checked SQL Server service log on is using the Network Service user account.

Permissions for the Folder BCM are set with the correct user groups.

Even in SQL I check off Collation for MSSMLBIZ Databases.

I added the owner user into the User of the BCM Database.

When I log on locally to my computer, BCM runs fine.

I do not have any trouble with MOA Databases running in the same Instance

locally and while connected to a server.

When I check with SQL Management Studio 2008 Express, Restrict Access =

Multiuser, Database State = Normal. I am a user with admin rights and I am

the owner of the BCM database.

Error message in the Application log is, while Outlook is trying to connect

to BCM database:

Log: Windows NT (Application)

Source: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS2008

Category: Logon

Event: 3221243928

User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Failed to open

the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

Hopefully this helps to explain the status.
