Kat:
This can be a little tricky ... the version of ACT! you have is pretty old.
ACT! is ... TTBOMK ... based on FoxPro. Unfortunately, it doesn't support
ODBC, so it doesn't connect to other DB servers.
The only way I have been able to port the data from ACT! is to use the
built-in export data function, and squirt the data out to a delimited text
file. You can import that file into MySQL, but you'll have to create the
database schema first.
Good luck!
