ACTdDupe!
A variation of the famous Super dDuper, customized for ACT! . Helps you remove those nasty duplicates from your ACT! Contact management files database files.
Customizable and lets you
Specify which fields constitutes a duplicate - usually Company name, Last name, and First name of contact.
Works with all versions of ACT!, automatically detecting which type it is.
How to handle the duplicates - delete them? Or just mark them.
Picks the record with the earliest Create Date as the Primary Record
Merges Activities, History, and Notes into the Primary Record
Merges each field into the Primary Record, so you don't lose anything!
If there is a blank field in the Primary Record, but it is filled in a duplicate, it fills in the field for the Primary Record. If a different value is already there, it adds a comma, then the remaining contents.
Print reports of duplicate records for your analysis.
This program will remove duplicate records from your ACT! database based on the contents of up to 5 different Character fields.
ACTdDupe compares the Soundex (sounds alike) value of character fields.
It handles the ACT! Merge Options better than ACT!
