Conversion from Act 2006

[trw]

I have ACT 2006 and wan to xfer the data to BCM. The wizard stated this was
not supported. Any suggestion on how to make this work?

Check out Lon Orenstein's website .... www.pinpointtools.com. He has a free
pdf download on there called Moving From ACT! to MS BCM 2007. It has a lot
of good Pros & Cons about both programs and a step-by-step procedure for
doing a migration from ACT! 2005 thru 2007 to BCM 2007.

Good luck!
Rick

Thanks Rick -- the other answer is to apply Service Pack 1 for BCM 2007.
That adds support for importing ACT 2006 and 2007.

I have installed the Service Pack and attempted the conversion from ACT 2006
Ver 8 several times with little success only get about 26 records out of 2500
imported. If I do a manual export to a .csv file from ACT and then an import
in to BCN 2007 I have to manually map most fields and then get all contacts
in Business Contacts and do the same procedure for Companies and import into
Accounts, but unable to figure out how to get Groups into BCM.

has anyone been able to use the import tool for BCM successfully?

Usually that's an indication that record 27 is corrupt. You could try
removing that record from ACT and rerunning the import.
