After you install Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager, you may receive the following error message:
There was a problem connecting to the database engine. To try again, please click Retry. If the problem persists, check Help.
To resolve this behavior, add a new user to the Business Contact Manager (BCM) group. To do so, follow these steps.
Note The use of Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) as a database requires that users be a member of the BCM user group to use the database. This behavior is the default configuration in Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and in Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
