I'm trapped in Act! and can't get out. Does the new Outlook 2007 have a tool to import my Act! 9.0 data?

Outlook 2007 only supports versions of ACT till 7.0. It does not support 8.0, 9.0 and any upgrade patches of 7.0.

We've made it work with no effort, actually. You have to have ACT! 9.0 loaded on the same PC as BCM and it recognized it just fine.

Lon,
Have you devised a solution for importing ACT ver 7 when the ACT database number is not the same as the program? I tried using ACTDIAG to address this problem from a workstation, but I could not get the application to point at our database on the server, only the local blank DB. Can you help me, please!

Try this -- BACKUP YOUR DATABASE first, before trying anything, please!
Launch actdiag.exe. Click on the Databases tab on the bottom left. Right click on the database you want to update, choose Database Rebuild, then choose Rebuild Schema.
Does that get the schema version updated correctly?

What about importing ACT! 8.0? I cana get it to start the conversion, but it dies. I have about 23,000 contacts. It dies after about 700.

The problem is that ACT! 8.0 changed some fields from 7.0, and ACT! 9.0 did the same again.
If you don't use those fields, then the ACT! 7.0 import module will work with ACT! 8 and 9. But if when it runs into one of those new fields, it fails and stops.
