they said it would never happen. outlook 2007. business contact manager 2007. office accounting 2007. performing together on small business server…live at the funcave!
mark it down, kiddos.
you saw it here first!
the 2007 versions of outlook (b2tr), business contact manager (b2tr) & office accounting pro (final) are installed & fully integrated here at the funcave, with the bcm & moa data riding on sbs r2 premium edition.
that’s right.
bcm & moa, living together, using sql 2005 workgroup edition.
your tired neighborhood happyfunboy had to piece together a working document from about 5 different sources.
so yeah, he ran across a few helpful tips & tricks along the way…
including how get a trial key for office accounting professional now, rather than later.
if there’s enough interest, i might be convinced to post up what i found.
Hmm, sounds most interesting. Especially the part about Office Accounting Professional…
Might we get a few more details?

Well, I’m in the same position that you used to be in - having to integrate five different programs that never “played well with others”. So, after reading your review and testing the trial versions which really, really are working great, I’m taking the plung. I’ll let you know.

Pleeeeease post a How-To on this. I’m trying to get my system set up just like this to start the new year with.

I’ve been running this setup for virtually 6 months now. Albeit with sql 2000 before the R2 Upgrade was available for SBS. It’s awesome!!! It wasnt anywhere near trying to get 5 different parts together though. I just followed the SBA2006 integration whitepaper and the only bit i had to work out on my own was integrating the bcm and sba into one database but there is a wizard within sba to do that

@ michael…
hmmm…the bcm07 doc stipulates only sql2k5 is supported for remote database configuration. iirc, i vaguely remember something regarding moa07 & sql2k5 as well, altho that doesn’t necessarily mean sql2k won’t work.
i reviewed the sba06 integration doc you mention as one of the 5 pieces of source material. in the end, i found it was vastly different than the working bcm07 doc…so much so that following it would have needlessly complicated both the initial setup for bcm07 & the integration with moa07.

[...] changes to it, it’d be a killer app for SMB folks. It’s been a key piece of the SBS/MOA/BCM/Outlook/WM integration of ours. So this decision isn’t being made lightly or [...]
