Aloha Lee,

Sorry, I said ".PDF" but meant to say ".DBF".

As for the new version - I don't see Act! 2006 listed on the import programs
in Beta 2 of Outlook 2007. Your best bet is probably to get Act! 2006 to
save in an earlier format, like DBF or CSV perhaps.

Aloha Lee,

Well, the why of it is pretty easy -- when Outlook 2003 was written
it didn't know anything about .PAD files because Act! 2006 wasn't
available yet. As to a workaround -- can Act! 2006 save in .PDF
format which you could then import into Outlook?

Outlook 2003 only looks for the previous database files .dbf and
will not search for ACT! 2006's .pad database. Isn't there a way to
make Outlook 2003 search for this latest file format? Prior to the
new ACT! 2006, I entered all contact info into ACT! and did a synch
with Outlook to get names and email addresses...now I can't. Is
there a work-around?

Thanks for your reply, Ben...but I don't know if ACT! 2006 can save
the database in a form that Outlook 2003 can digest. Are .pdf files
viable? I'll certainly look into it. I was looking for an update
from Microsoft for Outlook 2003 that would let it be useful to
current developing databases (like a virus update). I'm finding ACT!
a difficult program which doesn't seem to do anything automatically
when it comes to updating...like making sure it's new version would
be useful to the many of us using Outlook in a less than current
version. I wonder if the latest version of Outlook recognizes .pad
files. Does anyone know that? Or is this only a problem that spending
more money on software will solve? Thanks, Lee/
