Hello - I am trying to open a database that was created in Act 2006 Premium for Workgroups with Act 2006 standard edition. I can seem to open it - any ideas?
Thanks for the message. I have tried that - Every time I try to open the "saved as" database, I get a "device activation error" along with a box that says "working" with blue lights flashing across the screen. Act! 6 does not seem to want to open the Act6! for work groups database. Do you know of a way to export all the data including notes and scheduling so that it can be imported into the other version? - I apprecaite any help! Thanks SNS
I tried everything but it did not work. When I stop the MSSQL$ACT7 service, I cannot open or save as the database. I should mention that I am trying to open and conver the database on a different PC. My goal is to have a database reside on my server which can be accessed by any workstation using the non-workgroup version of Act. I worked this way with older versions of ACT. I thought I could do this with the workgroup version, but it fat too complicated for me to work with.
Thanks - I havea new question. With Act6.0 Standard - Can I create a new database and store it on the server to be accessed from various workstations that have Act 6.0 installed - I used to do this with older versions of act
If I install Act2006 on my server, and have an active database on the server, will I be able to access the database from multiple workstations? Old versions of Act were so much easier to work with!
I used the earlier version with no problems for a long time. I recently bought the Act Premium 2006 but found far too complex for me to configure. I just bought Act2006 thinking it would be as easy as the older versions. Are you saing that If I put a database on my server that I will be able to open that database from any workstation? Do yo uuse any chat programs while online like Yahoo or AOL? Your help is greatly appreciated! SNS
Premium and standard are the same to setup and run if not using the additional features.
BTW: Why 2006? The current 2008 is faster and better in many ways.
I use Skype as my main IM, but usually only for paid support customers - if interested, drop me a message via the Contact page on our web site (see my sig)
I've worked with ACT! for over 20 years, so not many know it as well.

I installed Act 2006 on my server then tried to open the database from a work station and got an error saring it could not find the database on my host PC - How can I have a database on my server that I can have multiple people access from various work stations?
