Act 2009 For Web Premium running on a Windows 2003 server. It can be accessed from a web interface when onsite. When offsite, I can get the Act Screen selecting a company, but after entering the username and password I get an HTTP 404 error saying the web page isn't there.

Hi
Looks like you have an IIS setting problem
The APFW (ACT Premium for Web) is not accessible outside the office
So what you need to do is change IIS to allow access to this folder/website from an external IP address
Should be fine then if you can access internally already

What is odd is that I can get to the first screen that asks for the act file name, but it doesn't go anywhere after that. I thought I have all the rights correctly set.

Hi
have a look at this - it runs through the IIS config that I think is causing the issue
I also noticed that Popup Blocker cause quite some problems. Today ACT! was not working anymore with Google Chrome. I figured out that Chrome blocked the popup that appear right after the Login page, so i was unable to use it anymore. Just make sure that you choose "Always allow pop-ups from <yoursite>" if you are using Chrome.

Did Firefox work? Was chrome the only browser that worked? I will have to try both.
Thanks,

Firefox 6 work just fine.
I've got some problems with Google Chrome (reports). Even if i allow EVERY popup, when i pick-up the report, a popup appear. Then i can choose the dates... and when i launch the report, i see a black popup appear & dissappear suddently, and no report. So i've stopped losing my time with IE9 & Chrome... i use FireFox 6.
After googling for a while, i've found a moderator saying in a Sage forum that only IE7 & IE8 & FireFox 3.6 are supported by Sage, and they don't expect to adapt to Chrome anytime soon.
