SBA 2007 integration with Outlook 2003 & BCM SP4 fails

Integrating SBA 2007 Pro with Outlook 2003 & BCM SP4 fails.
Everything is on one XP laptop with the latest service packs and updates.
Outlook 2003 with BCM 3 worked ok. It never integrated successfully with SBA
2007, a known problem. I installed BCM SP4 and my BCM data vanished. I
restored the database and BCM SP4 appears to work ok. I shared the database
in Outlook as per the instructions. I started SBA 2007 and tred to integrate
with BCM. SBA 2007 does not see any database, so integration fails.
I understood SP4 was supposed to enable integration of Outlook 2003 BCM with
Small Business Accounting 2007. What did I do wrong?

SBA 2007 cannot integrate with BCM versions earlier than BCM 2007.
BCM SP4 can integrate with SBA 2007.

The difference is which application does the integration.

In BCM SP4, go to menu BCM|Accounting, and integrate from there.

Please, I achieved the sync between SBA and BCM 2007.
Nevertheless, I made a mistake and delete one of my acconts into BCM. So
that this account has been stamped 'inactive' in SBA. I recreated the
Account in BCM, but now there is no way for me to recreate this account into
SBA nor to make the former account 'active' again in SBA.

Any idea

Try the SBA forum, they should understand what SBA's in/active means
best.
