The Exporter software exports  ACT! data  from the  Contact, Groups Company, Notes, History, Activity, Sales, Group Membership  into several standard formats which can be used for import into a wide variety of applications.   It supports ACT! versions 3 to ACT! by Sage 2012.

Easy to Use interface.  Answer five questions -- What What type of output do you want?; How to access the ACT! database?; Where is the ACT! database? ; Where will the exported data be saved?

All Data Exported.  Notes, history, activity and opportunity items are exported and easily linked with their contact records.

Works without ACT! .  Exporter does not require that you have ACT! on your system.

Conversion Analysis.  Includes a lists of fields in each table including the type, populated count, and pick list information.

Custom ACT! field names are preserved.  ACT! allows the user to rename user fields and create new fields.  These field names are exported so they can be used in the target application.

Filters.  Allow the user to export portions of the database.

Notes converted from .rtf to standard text.  ACT! stores notes in .rtf format.  While this allows fancy formatting within ACT!  most other applications can not use this format.  Therefore, any note stored in rtf format is converted to standard text. 

Runs manually or automatically.  Exporter can be  run without operator intervention and can be run as a scheduled after hours task.

Export File Types

CSV/Excel   All tables are exported in windows standard comma delimited or TAB delimited format.  All files exported can be open with MS Excel.

ACCESS  All tables are exported into an Access database.  The relationships between the tables are setup.

dBase  All tables are exported in dBase IV format with a .dbf extension.  For tables containing memo fields, there will be a .dbt extension which contains the long data fields

FoxPro All tables are combined into a Visual FoxPro Database container.  The relationships between the tables are set up.  DBC files can be used with almost any window application through the ODBC drivers.  In the Download area of our web site, you can find information describing how to use this file type.

ACT! 6  Exporter will return the ACT! 2005-2010 database to ACT! 6.  The data returned depends on the Export Server used.  (See below.) 

Salesforce.com  A Comma delimited file is returned which can be easily imported into Salesforce.com using the Import Wizard.  In addition, a list of the ACT! fields which did not automatically map to Salesforce.com fields is complied to make the transition to Salesforce a simple three step process -- Export the ACT! data, Add the custom ACT! fields to Salesforce, Import the data.  ACT! notes are included.  A field including a list of the ACT! groups can be used to easily build Salesforce views.

Zoho  Comma delimited files are returned which can be easily imported into ZOHO using the Zoho Data Migration Too.    ACT! fields are renamed to simplify the conversion process.  A list of the ACT! fields which did not automatically map to Zoho fields is complied to allow the user to transfer the ACT! custom fields to Zoho.

System Requirments

If exporting from ACT! 4-6, ACT! is not required.

If using the Exporter SQL instance or a 2008 SQL Express server from Microsoft, ACT! is not required.

For export to Access, Access must be on the system. 

For export to ACT! 6, ACT! 6 must be on the system.

NOTE:  A single table can not exceed 2GB.  Because the Exporter has to combine data from several different tables in the SQL database,  the contact and company tables created for export can become quite large.
We recommend the upper limit of an ACT! 2005+ database not to exceed 100K contacts and/or company records.  If you need to export more than that, the database should be split.
