Some Editions of Office 2003 come with outlook 2003 with business contact
manager. I Have seen that it works fine until it is connected in a
Outlook-Exchange server environment.

As long as outlook is connected by pop3 its fine, if its setup as exchange
server environment, the BCM fails.

Is there a solution to the problem???
 
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.

Exchange and BCM are not compatible - I believe if you're using SBS some
features of it work,but not with regular Exchange.
