Running ACT! as a windows service?

[Ranv]

Hello,

I am running ACT! 2007 (Version 9). I have the application running with a main database. I have two years who run the appliation on their local PC's and who synch with the main database. My question is, is it possible to run the application that has the main database as a Windows Service? I can't seem to find any information on this. Thanks!

Sorry, I mean "I have two users ... ", not "I have two years ...

No, this is not possible. But, I assume what you really want is for the main database to allow sync when not logged in.

For this, you need the Premium version of ACT!, which has Sync Servers (Network and Internet) that do run as Windows services.
