Has anyone got a solution to linking Sage and ACT which isn't the Alphalogics add on ?
The link for our client which is done the old ACT Link way based on Contacts not Companies is broken with the latest version of ACT - and ACT are not planning to fix it.
Any pointers on alternative add ons...
We specialise in helping people keep using Sage 50 with large data sets / numbers of users when Sage themselves have often told the client that they need to move on to a bigger product (they usually suggest Sage 200) Please get in touch for an informal chat about your options if you want to...

Just trying to help. It's not a Sage problem in all likelihood as per my previous comment hence my it whizz hubby offering to help. We make a good team!
