Hi all,

I've posted this to borland.public.delphi.language.delphi.general etc but
thought I would try my luck here to as you lot are always Knowledgeable and
helpful!

I am hoping that someone here can help me save our latest project! Thanks
to the sales people (the evil people) , we (the development team/good guys)
have just learned that it was promissed that our system would integrate with
the clients Act! 6 system ........ with 2 weeks left till initial roll out!

I've looked on the web, and can find very little / nothing useful about integrating
with Act! 6 . There is some stuff about the SDK for the latest version of
Act! but that is all using .NET. We are D7 ....

All I need to be able to do is look up a contact and update a couple of fields
for that contact. Adding stuff to the history for the contact would be a
bonus, but not required.

Anyone any idea's how to do this?

Thanks in advance for _any_ help,

Regards,

Tim.

Last time I looked at ACT! it was back in version 4. Back then it used dBase format files and if that's still the case it should be easy to alter them or read from them.

Hi Tim,

I had exactly the same problem with Sage MMS.

The sales people promised a link from our Win32 software even though the
SDK for MMS is only available for .NET

I had to write a .NET program that would read the data tables from our
Win32 program (DBISAM v3 tables) using the ODBC driver and update the
accounts within Sage MMS.

Tim,

as I remember, they have the ODBC driver for ACT tables and you may connect
via ADO provider for ODBC driver.
Or do you want to use their SDK from Delphi project?
