Business Contact Manager

[Guest]

After installing Office 2003 Professional, I would like to use Business Contact Manager. We are working with Exchange Server. Is this a seperate product or is this part of Office 2003. If included, i am not able to create (following the included help instructions) a BCM Database.
Has anyone any ideas how to solve this ?
Create a new Business Contact Manager database
On the File menu, click Data File Management.
In the Outlook Data Files dialog box, click Add.
In the New Outlook Data File dialog box, under Types of storage, click Business Contact Manager Database.
Click OK.
In the Associate Database Wizard, click Create a new database.
Follow the directions in the wizard.
To get assistance entering information on any page of the wizard, click Help on that page.

BCM cannot be used in a profile that includes an Exchange account.

What are the other options? I am a user in a company
running Exchange Server. If I remove exchange from my
profile, dosen't that eliminate access to exchange email
along with other stuff like calendaring, etc.?

If you access Exchange via POP or IMAP, you lose most folder sharing, but can still exchange meeting requests and responses.
