How do I move from one to two users in Outlook Business Contact Manager?
Preferably, since there are only two users here, I would like to use the
'workgroup' to network them together so we can share the same database.

What addiitonal software do I need? Is there a way just to 'point' the
additional licnesed copy to my database on the workgroup?
Is there a way for one user to work remotely and synchronize data?
Where can I find instructions on how to make this work?
 
Are there any near term plans to add it?

BCM has no such sharing feature.

No. Long term plans (meaning probably a year from now) will include some
sharing capabilities, however details are still sketchy.

I signed up for the data. I really like BCM and wouldn't mind doing the beta
for this. Do you recommend I take this route? I probably will not use the
accounting functions.
 
It's up to you.

I too would support the request for sharing of data. Act provided same base
level synchronization and it worked fine for the 2-3 folks that need to
share. I really like the direction BCM is taking and the integration within
Outlook is far better than struggling with Act for contacts and Outlook for
email and calendar.

By adding a few of the good things Act has that are missing from BCM would
be super... sharing the data would be one just item. Thanks, Grant
