Can I use Outlook 2003 w/ Business Contact Manager with Small Business Server
2000 Exchange Server. i have seen where there is a patch for 2003 Small
Business Server. I wondered about 2000 though?

Also instead of buying the entire office package, If I purchased Outlook
2003 byitself, does Business Contact Manager come with it, is it just an
add-on available on the CD?
 
Microsoft officially does not support using BCM with an Outlook profile that
includes an Exchange account, unless that account is on a Small Business
Server 2003 machine and you have installed the corresponding patch for BCM
from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=831747. If you add a BCM database to a
profile that includes Exchange from any other environment, the next time you
start Outlook, BCM will remove the database from the profile. However, as
described at http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/bcm.htm, it is possible to
install the patch and then hack the registry to make BCM work with a profile
that contains Exchange even if it isn't SBS 2003.

BCM is available only as part of Office 2003 Pro and Small Business Edition,
not standalone Outlook 2003.
 
Thanks you for a quick answer, much appreciated.
