We have currently implemented the "Shared" version of BCM on a user's PC. We
are planning on implementing Exchange very soon. Is there any advantage to
using BCM with Exchange or are there negatives? We are currently using BCM
Version 2.00.4013 with Office/Outlook 2003 SB1.

The Business Contact Manager Phone Log seems to have a fatal flaw that I
can't figure out how to get around: I cannot log a phone call I made, say,
yesterday, or while on the road.  The date and time fields should be
editable, not just the time you click "Add" -- which could be ...

I see them in the contact itself but it does not show up in opp history. I
dont even see it as an option to add them manually.

I have Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager and I'm trying to add a

I am running into brick walls with BCM. I use BCM to contact customers, and
just imported a CSV file with contact information to a folder I labeled
"Prospects". However the resulting address cards are not the cards I want to
use. The cards I prefer to use enable me to add phone ...

I've had BCM running separately on two user profiles on the same PC. I now
want the users to share the same BCM database.  When I try to switch

Call me blind or just stunned, however I am at a loss.
I would expect that when you view an appointment etc on your calendar you
