How to set up sharing contacts

[Guest]

I purchased a copy of Office 2003 Professional and I work for a company that
has 3 users/computers.

We bought BCM so that we could merge our outlook contacts into one databse
which could be linked/shared so that everyone had access and changes would be
synched.

I have had trouble figuring out or accessing any resources that tell exactly
how I would set this database up, how I would merge me contacts from outlook
amd most of all how I would go about sharing them.

Basically do I need anything in addition to business contact manager and
office to share contacts?

open outlook and click on the business contact manager folder and you will
get a menu screen which will give you steps on how to share database with
other users

Thanks a lot for the help...will the allow me to share contacts with other
computers or just users? because when I tried earlier I was able to share
with other users but couldnt figured out how to do this so that all three
computers in the office share the same one or have access to it.

Thanks in advance

you should be able to share the database with up to 5 users as long as you
can get to computer that stores the database from other workstations. when
you install BCM on their computers just point it back to the computer that
has the database during the setup process.

Hi Jeff

Sharing is new to the BCM Update and was not available in Version 1. Which
version are you running? If you are running V1, you can download the Update
from this location
