After installing and uninstalling 4 times, reading countless tech notes, I
finally got it to work. In the process, I created several databases, and it
finally worked on one called MSBusinessContactManager4 which I am currently
using.

How do I find and delete the other ones? They are in the drop down list
under File, DataManagement, Settings for MSBusinessContactManager4. I have
searched on their names and come up empty.

Also, I have noticed that at least once that MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ has
switched from starting automatically to manual - which is anoying.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Bob

Try looking in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager.
You should find them there with the .mdf (microsoft data file) extension.
That's where I found mine anyway.

Also, make sure you are viewing hidden files, if you do not see the "local"
folder.
