There are 2 steps involed there: choosing the application which you'll be using as your new contact management system, and migrating data. About choosing an application, I personally use Evolution but my requirements may differ from yours. Please consult websites such as Freshmeat.net or Gnomefiles.org. Data migration depends on how you can export the data from the ACT software (there is apparently an ExportACT module for that). If you can't have a better export format, then the CSV format is usually understood by many import filters for the new app you'll have choosen. If you need to perform some transformations on the exported data before it can be imported into the new application, then there are some things I'll be able to help with using Libgda's import/export capabilities. Hope this helps, Regards, Vivien _______________________________________________ gnome-db-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-db-list
