Are these two products compatible? We have some employees using Outlook
2003 and some who have upgraded to Outlook 2007 w/BCM. Can we share a common
database, ie. can we have employees using both products simultaneously? I'm
not familiar with the 2003 product. Appreciate the help.

Each version of BCM uses a database of the same version. Newer
versions of BCM should upgrade older databases when they connect to
the database. A BCM 2003 client cannot connect to a BCM 2007
database, not vice-versa.
 
Don't mean to be dense about this but if I understand your response
correctly: BCM 2007 will be able to access the 2003 database after upgrading
it but BCM 2003 will not be able to access that database. Thanks.

Yup.
 
We have a similar problem. The "server" is running BCM version 2003, but we
have clients using either 2003 or 2007. I thought that 2007 would be
compatibel with older versions, ie 2003, and that a 2007 client could use a
2003 server (but not vice versa).

From your reply it seems that we need to choose between either keeping 2003
for all clients or upgrading all clients to 2007 at the same time, is that
correct? If yes, is there some kind of work-around?
