1. Your Outlook data is in Start -> Run -> "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook" -> OK so copy it to the new machine or to a CD.
2. Your BCM data needs to be backed up using the BCM tool in Business Tools -> Manage Database -> Backup and copy that backup file to a CD or to your new machine
3. On the new machine, uninstall Office completely and reboot
4. Install Office 2003
5. Update it to the current release of Office through Microsoft Office Update
6. Download BCM V2 Update and then BCM/SBA 2006 SP3 (I link to these from my website)
7. Import your old Outlook data from the CD using the File -> import feature of Outlook 2003
8. Install BCM V2 Update and BCM SP3 with an empty database
9. Confirm that BCM is working correctly and go to Business Tools -> Manage Database -> Restore
