[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1145584, member: 24098"] ACT! is coded in .NET and uses a SQL backend. It would be quite a feat to bring it over to the Mac. Essentially, it would need to be rebuilt from the top-down. That's unfortunate as I've known quite a few people who swear by the product. As you've noted, there are a few alternatives to running it on a Mac, but none of them are "native". According to CodeWeavers, the latest version of ACT! does not run on Crossover, so you can't even go down that route. That leaves running it via VMWare Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox. And yes, it does mean installing Windows first. But if you really must have ACT! and nothing else will do, that looks like the only viable solution at the moment. As far as alternatives go.... have a look here: [url=http://alternativeto.net/software/act/]ACT! alternatives and similar software - AlternativeTo.net[/url] ...but in my experience in dealing with ACT! users, you're probably not going to be satisfied without the genuine article.
