Any news on a utility to import Act! 6.0?

Thanks

There is a addin in Outlook 2003 that is called BCM (Business Contact
Manager)

It is possible to import Act! 6.0 file using the following method.

Step 1 export the data base from Act as an ACT 6 .dbf database
Step 2 Open the database file in excel 2003 as a Dbase file (.dbf)
Step 3 add a row at the top of the spreadsheet
Step 4 Add column titles to the data
Step 5 save as an excel 2003 workbook
step 6 file import in outlook pick other program or file/pick excel2003
file
Step 7 map the fields from act to BCM
Step 8 import into the bcm contacts folder

The only other suggestion that I can offer is to export from Act to a comma
seperated value (.csv) and then import the csv file into Outlook.

The method posted works for contacts but what about the other object
such as tasks, histories, etc.?

Please advise.
