Hey Dianem
I think that the common ground is password protected files. My PST is also
password protected for security reasons, so I wonder if there will be a patch
out anytime soon. I'm about to go back to Outlook 2003 and write off BCM
completely. This is such a hassle.

Thank you for verifying that, Jeremiah. Just so you know, I finally gave up
on BCM last night. If you do decide to uninstall it, please be careful. It
is not intuitive and it's easy to cause more harm than good if you follow
some of the advice on these message boards as stated. For instance, if you
use the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" facility, and delete "BCM" as
indicated by many, you'll be deleting the Dell Broad Com Modem driver and,
effectively, destroying access to the internet (which is where you'd need to
go to recover the driver). The Business Contact Manager is actually (and
misleadingly, as noted by many others) listed as something like: "Microsoft
Outlook with Business Contact Manager" in the applications list. This
implies that, if you delete Business Contact Manager, you also have to delete
Outlook. That doesn't appear to be true. I deleted that and Outlook seemed
to return to 2003 status without the Business Contact Manager. The desktop
SQL Server is another problem. You apparently have to delete it, also, in
order to stop the madness. I did, but the icon is still in my status bar. I
supposed I'll find out more when I reboot... .but I've been too scared to try
that, yet. Anyway.... good luck to you, sir.
