ACT! and VFP

[Louis]

Hello,

I would like to know if VFP can programatically interact with Symantec's
ACT! 5.0 contact manager program?

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for your help,

Louis

There is an ACT SDK that provides COM objects to interact with ACT's database.

I couldn't find it on the site to provide a link, so you may want to call them and get a copy. I
have used it to insert ACT contacts before- here's a sample code snippet:

oData = CreateObject("ACTOLE.DATABASE")
oData.Open("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ACT\Database\contacts.dbf")
IF oData.IsOpen()
oTable = oData.CONTACT
oTable.Add()
oTable.Data(200, "krusty@simpsons.com")
oTable.Data(79,"Klown")
oTable.Data(78, "Krusty")
oTable.Data(25, "Krusty Show")
oTable.Data(35, "512-123-1234")
oTable.Data(36, "512-321-3214")
oTable.Data(37,"512-123-1234")
oTable.Update()
oData.Close()
