ACT 6.0 import in BCM 2007 Mike Vandamme 2/9/2007 3:32:00 PM I used the conversion tool of BCM 2007 to import my ACT 6.0 database. During the conversion phase the .dbf file is converted to .bcm file, but in the phase that this .bcm file is imported then I get the message that there was an error because of a "wrong version of the file"?? I really want to merge from Act! to BCM but I am stucked. Thank in advance for your help!

Re: ACT 6.0 import in BCM 2007 "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/9/2007 9:07:46 PM Mike: Was this error in the log file after the import into BCM? Did you get data in BCM -- all or some? You might try doing a compress and reindex in ACT! and retrying the conversion -- there might have been some corruption that confused BCM.

Re: ACT 6.0 import in BCM 2007 Mike Vandamme 2/10/2007 9:37:00 AM Thank you for the reaction. After the conversion I have a .bcm file. But when I want to import this bcm file I got the message "Some errors occured while your data was being imported. Wrong file version." I tried with a small ACT! database with some records (5 contacts) and ... the same results. Where can I find the log file that bcm is generating during this process ?

Re: ACT 6.0 import in BCM 2007 "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/10/2007 12:18:53 PM There's a link in the dialog box that appears at the end of the import. I don't know the exact location of the log --maybe one of the BCM Team can tell us.
