Outlook Business Contact Manager Carol K 3/16/2007 11:50:00 PM How do I import ACT! 8.0 database files into Business Contact Manager? My version of ACT! is not available on the conversion list. And, my version of ACT!8.0 will not allow me to export as an excel file

RE: Outlook Business Contact Manager Jerry Blake (MSFT) 3/17/2007 12:10:05 AM Hi Carol k, I am not sure what options are out there for act! 8 export, but if you have an option to export your Act! data as a comma separated value file, or csv, you can import that into bcm. Or, if act! 8 can export it to a previous version of act!. -- -- Jerry Blake [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "Carol K" wrote: [Quoted Text] > How do I import ACT! 8.0 database files into Business Contact Manager?

Re: Outlook Business Contact Manager "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 3/18/2007 10:58:19 PM Carol: What we've seen is that BCM will import an ACT! 7, 8, or 9 database but you've got to have both ACT! and BCM on the same PC, and the version of ACT! and the ACT! database have to be the same version. There were some bugs in ACT! where your db schema was a different version than the software. You can use ACTDIAG to check all that out.

Re: Outlook Business Contact Manager Carol K 3/19/2007 6:53:36 PM Where do I find ACTDIAG to run that? I do have both programs installed on my PC.

Re: Outlook Business Contact Manager "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 3/20/2007 10:42:59 PM Look in the folder where ACT! is installed -- usually \Program Files\ACT. It's called ACTDIAG.EXE... Or, you could search your hard drive for it.
