BCM max users/network setup
 

Have a client that uses BCM 2003 on an XP Pro computer as a (Server).
We're going to move them to an actual server for better file sharing/
permissions control. Most of the users are familiar with BCM and I am
not. Can you install it on a network and have it shared among the
network of about 10-14 people. Can users be setup with different
permissions such as read-only or full read/write to the bcm database?
And if so can you point me in the right direction on the setup or what
to look out for.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

In addition to Milly's reply, note that BCM data can't be shared.

You might look at SBS2003, which includes Exchange, and will actually
improve everything else they need to do in outlook (and might even supplant
BCM if all they need is shared address books, etc)

Really? Someone better tell Microsoft...
