BCM 2003 and Vista Home Premium "Steve" <me[ at ]somewhere.com> 2/5/2007 7:22:32 PM I upgraded from XP to Vista this weekend and reinstalled my copy of MS Office SBE 2003 with Business Contact Manager. HOwever when I went to install the BCM it stated there is a known compatibility issue with Vista. I should contact the manufacturer of the product. Well I can't find anything on the MS site alluding to the compability issue and if they plan to resolve it ( I am thinking not since they have had 4+ years to resolve it). Does anyone know what the issue is? If they are going to fix it? I would like to know since I would rather downgrade back to XP then to have to pay for the upgrade to Office 2007. Any help will be appreciated. Steve

I had BCM continue to work, at least the features i used, after upgrading from Windows Pro to Vista Pro, but it sounds that the exerience will vary depending on Vista version or after reinstalling on Vista. I got a warning that MSDE (the version of sql server with BCM v1 and v2) was incompatible with Vista when I upgraded, and that probably leads to some of the difficulties. Someone from Microsoft said last week that they working on a service pack to support BCM v2 on Vista.
