Act

Hey anyone ever heard of a database called ACT?? Apparently it uses SQL server, anyone ever used it before??the last time i had to deal with ACT, which I believe is a sales CRM or contact manager, it did not use SQL Server but had a proprietary format database back end. We got the DB from some company we bought and flattened. There was some stuff I had to download from that company's website that exposed some objects and I had to write some vb to extract the data from the database to import it into SQL Server to merge it with our CRM. This was a few years ago and it was at a different gig, so I do not have the details anymore.

Things may have changed. They might use SQL Server now. Check them out...

They just included it, might be a sales promotion thing who knows|||tip for the future: if you don't know what it is, don't install it.|||I looked them up on the website, and I like Databases
