ContACT - Sun OpTech/Chris Barlow 76440,1370

This is a mini-app I wrote using Visual Basic and Q&E/VB to access my 
dBase contact files in ACT! for Windows. Q&E/VB is great! This was my 
first app using it and I was able to complete the entire program in one 
day!

ACT! for Windows is an excellent contact manager but doesn't yet have 
full DDE support-- however, it does use dBase files. ContACT will access 
those files (or any dBase files with the appropriate field names-- see the 
sample included), allow searching by several fields, and copy the text 
formatted as an address heading to the Clipboard. 

ContACT is also a DDE Server. It copies DDE Link information to the 
Clipboard and reacts to certain LinkExecute commands. This allows an 
application like Word for Windows to "drive" the contact list and paste 
names and addresses.

ContACT is Freeware. No warranty is expressed or implied and no support 
is offered. It works fine on my computer but you use it at your own risk. 
You may use all or any of the code. All VB source code is included along 
with a sample database, a Windows Help file and a Word for Windows 
template with the DDE macros. However, the program requires the 
Q&E/VB vbx (QEVBDBF.VBX) and QEVBDBF.TXT merged into the global 
files and the common dialog vbx/ddl from the VB Professional ToolKit. 
These are not included due to licensing and downloading considerations.
