Why do you want to import the contacts into Outlook?<br />
<br />
Adding the ACT! database as an address book is to allow you to send emails from Outlook and have them attached to the ACT! contact

We have a user which has a large act database and while we've been able to add an address book in Microsoft outlook we have not been able to directly import the database into her Outlook contacts. &nbsp;We have been able to move some of the addresses into the contact list however a number of the items in the act database are not being transferred such as phone numbers and addresses.<br />
Is there a way of importing the database directly into Outlook's contact list? &nbsp;Does anyone have a reason why the phone numbers and addresses are not coming over?<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for your help

Act! (previously known as Sage ACT!) is a customer relationship management (CRM) software application which is used to keep track of client and prospect details in a single database that can be shared by multiple users. Act! features include contact, company and opportunity management, a calendar, communication tools, the ability to track prospective customers, "dashboards", reports, and the ability to synchronize data from other applications or other Act! users over the web.

A contact manager in its most basic form is a software program that enables users to easily store and find contact information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers. Sophisticated contact managers provide calendar sharing features and allow several people in a company to access the same database. Some contact management systems have evolved into customer relationship management (CRM) systems to analyze and plan for an organization’s interaction with current and future customers.

Contact Management

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
