Multi-User Support
ACT-Outlook Synchronizer supports ACT! Multi-User configurations and properly converts the activities relating to the currently logged-in user.

PIMs Supported
ACT-Outlook Synchronizer supports ACT! 2000 (build 5.0.4.495) and ACT! 6.0. In addition, Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 are supported. In addition, Exchange is also supported.

Field Synchronization Capabilities
All the fields in ACT! can be synchronized, whether they are standard fields or user defined fields. In addition, fields that are mapped to Outlook Custom forms are also converted.

Field Remapping Capabilities
All fields in ACT! can be remapped to Outlook fields, whether these fields exist in Outlook or not. The field remapping is maintained if you exit ACT-Outlook Synchronizer.

ACT! Items Converted
The following ACT! Items are Synchronized to Outlook equivalents:
·Contacts. All the contact data is synchronized, including user defined fields.  
·Todo's - ACT! Todo's are synchronized into Outlook Tasks with the same time-reoccurring properties.  
·Calls - ACT! Calls are synchronized into equivalent Outlook Tasks.  
·Meetings - ACT! meetings are synchronized into Outlook Appointments.  
 
Selective Synchronization
You can synchronize contacts from a selected list of contacts. Simply choose the contact and all the fields and activities are synchronized into Outlook and vice-versa.

Group Synchronization
You can select contacts belonging to an ACT! group and synchronize only the group.
State-of-the-art duplicate checking
When you first want to synchronize your ACT! database into an existing Outlook contact folder, we check for corresponding contacts according to the following criteria
·Email Address.  
·First and Last Name and City  
·Company Name and City  

Only when these criteria fail do we create a new contact.

Once the first Synchronization has been made, ACT-Outlook Synchronizer keeps a 1-to-1 match between the ACT! database and the corresponding Outlook item so that no duplicates are ever created.

Outlook Overflow Checking
Due to Outlook's restrictions on the size of the folder (16K items), ACT-To-Outlook Pro will automatically create new folders during the Synchronization so that Outlook does not crash.

Background Support
Setup ACT-Outlook Synchronizer to work in the background at scheduled times using the Windows Scheduler. Let our software do the work when you are not in the system.

Unparalleled Outlook Support
Our close support of Outlook with ACT-Outlook Synchronizer allows you to synchronize ACT! databases to Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007. In addition, No Outlook Security Warnings messages are displayed during the Synchronization. Simply click on the synchronize all button and all the data is then synchronized.
