Hi Guys n Gals
I am trying to set up a database to use for occaisional mailouts. I have my own copy of \"Act 2000\" and a copy of \"Act 2006\". I am a little rusty but reasonably competant with these titles.
My problem is that we cannot afford to \"buy\" a ready made database.
The information required to set one up is freely available, but hugely labour intensive to manually enter the data in a useable form.
I discovered that Act has a recomended \"add-on\" called \"Address Grabber\". This should (it claims) transfer highlighted contact/address text (from web pages) and convert it into a new \"contact\" in Act (ie a useable form).
I \"obtained\" a trial version to evaluate but cannot seem to get it working.(it insists my version of Act 2006 is Act 2007)
Has anyone any experienceof doing this? Am I using the wrong software?
..........Any suggestions/help gratefully recieved
:( ............PLEASE
