Hello!

I have a client with SBS 2003 and Outlook 2003. Whenever he logs off if his
LAN workstation, he gets an error stating "Offline files (\\server\Users)
Unable to make 'Contact Management database [1].MDB available offline on
(UNC to his My Docs). Files of this type cannot be made available offline."

As a side note, has anyone had trouble with Google Groups searches lately,
say in the last week? I can search for items inside quotation marks such as
"files of this type cannot be made available offline" and I get few hits,
sometimes none. If I search without quotation marks, I get dozens of hits,
and they show the EXACT text of what was in the quotation marks on the first
searches.

Thank you!

Gregg Hill

Yes this is the way it's meant to work
Syncronization will not occure on Specific Database files
.mdb is one of them

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;252509

When you attempt to make files or folders available offline, the following
error message may be displayed:
Offline files (\\server\share): Unable to make file Filename available
offline on \\server\share. Files of this type cannot be made available
offline.

CAUSE
By default, files with the following extensions are excluded:
.db?
.ldb
.mdb
.mde
.mdw
.pst
.slm

Sorry Glasses off (Didn't see the 2003)
Upgrade to office 2007 and you can share the BCM database on the SBS server
Works Great
Russ
And no I haven't noticed a Goggle Search issue on groups.. sorry

Cool. Thank you. I guess I should have asked, "Can I move the MDB file so it
does not try to got to the offline folders on the server at logoff?"

Seriously go to outlook2007 with BCM
you use the BCM Database Creator on any server
you add the users you want to share that database
and bingo you can share a database

because BCM in outlook 2003 was worthless if you had more than 1 user and 1
PC :)

No can do for this client. They need Office Pro 2003 due to an Access
database that does not open properly with Access 2007. I do not know Access
to even attempt to fix that problem, and the person who set up the database
vaporized long ago.

Seriously you should find someone that's a access guru
If not for this project
but in case you need someone in an Event!

Hi Gregg,

You can install Outlook 2007 without installing Access 2007.

Equally, you can install the Access 2003 runtime to run the legacy app and
then install Access 2007.
Thinking about it (but not being an Office 2007 expert) I cannot see any
reason why you couldn't have Access 2003 & Access 2007 installed
concurrently. I currently have Access 2000 & 2002 installed.
