Hi John -
There is absolutely no reason why Quantum should not work fine with SBS . .
. I have a Quantum trial installed on my SBS network here at home that is
working flawlessly. I haven't looked at system requirements or what is
supported - but if Sage supports hosting the data on Windows Server 2003,
then you're fine with SBS . . .
