Outlook should let me use Business Contact Manager with exchange .

Why can't I use Business Contact Manager with exchange server. It looks like
it would be the perfect solution for keeping track of the contacts I make
here at work. Is there a similar solution for someone that uses exchange
server?

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.

There are dozens of other robust contact managers that work with Outlook --
see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contact_management.htm

FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for BCM issues --
microsoft.public.outlook.bcm
