# ACT! Versions 7.x, 8.x

This connector allows you to connect to ACT! 7.x (2005) and 8.x (2006) databases.

NOTE: Inaport MUST be run on the system that ACT! is installed on. You cannot connect remotely to an ACT! database.

Path to PAD file - The PAD file is an ACT! file that holds the connection information for an ACT! database. Browse to the file and select it. The normal location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\ACT\ACT for Win7\MyDatabase.PAD
where "MyDatabase" is the name of your database.

User name and Password - this is the name of an ACT! user. The user must have read/write permissions on all the data you want to access; the best way to ensure this is to make sure they have administrator permissions.

NOTE: The user name is entered in full, for example: "Chris Huffman". The password may be blank.
