Is there a Python library available for (gasp) ACT?


A client is asking that I write a script to periodically pull his contacts from Google into ACT on his local computer. Is there a library that would allow me to interact with something as old as ACT?


Solution

  • Looks like you might be able to simply use an ODBC connection as outlined in this article: How To Create An ODBC Connection For Use With The ACT! Reader Utility

    Alternatively if you need to bare-metal it, you could try ctypes, or leverage IronPython.
