ACT! (version 6) macro editor
Hi, is there such a thing a an editor for ACT!6 macros?
Unfortunately no. The only reliable way of recording macros in act is using the keyboard only (don't record mouse events). I usually will write down on paper the key commands I need and then record the macro.
You can check this out also. I haven't used it with ACT 6 but some have had success using it with the newer version.

Respectfully disagree with the ACTDude. Within ACT you can compose macros WITH mouse clicks.
I use another technique too. Use the field trigger to activate e a batch or exe file. Go to Edit | Define Fields, choose your field and select the tab lableled Triggers. You have the choice to either trigger launch when entering or exiting field. I have used this to calculate and populate field with results.
BTW I'm ACT Certified.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks guys. Actually I was after an editor - like vba for Microsoft Office - so that I can hard-code the macros. I've tried opening the macro file in Notepad, but it just shows a load of unprintable characters.
