I have been running Office 2007 on my PC, with Business Contact
Manager 2007, on XP, and it was fine.
Yesterday I did a fresh install (not an upgrade) to Vista in order to
run on that OS, meaning that I had to re-install Office, which went
fine.
I did a back-up of all my files onto an external hard drive, and I can
see my Business Contact Manager database on the hard drive, but cannot
work out how to 'insert' this database into Outlook 2007.

Copy your database file to:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager

When Outlook starts up, it should ask you if you want to use BCM.

Say yes, and select your eisiting database, instead of creating a new
one.
