I have narrowed this down by poking around some more and trying to install on
XP and Office 2003 to get a contrast. The results are the same in both cases.
I can see the databse and attach it but I do not get the Business Tools Menu
Tab added or the add-in showing up.
So here are my questions:
1. What is the name of the add-in file. I saw one post that suggested
irisms32.dll. This does not seem to be correct because the file structure is
not a com or ecf compatible add-in.
o in Office 2003?
o in Office 2007?
2. What is the process that adds the Business Tools tab? Is it the add-in
(seems likely) or database stored procedures, or some combination or ???
Maybe this will lead me to a manual solution.
I have reinstalled and reenabled several times in both 2003 and 2007, no luck.
There must be something simple I am missing.
I have applied the SP4 to 2003 BCM. No change.
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.
