Are you sure? You can import the DB files into Access and I've imported
them before into Reckal and Open Office.
The only things you cant get at are emails, notes and attachments but
then that's not required in this scenario.

I think Outlook can import your ACT contacts, certainly my BroadcastHTML
can import from ACT and of course if you purchase Goldmine that too can
import your ACT contacts from the ACT DB so I'm not sure about this
locked/password.

If you've lost your user password simply go to 'Manage Users' click in
the end of the password field and press delete one at a time this
reveals nearly all the password one letter at a time (Remember to click
Cancel not OK) it was a fault/bug with the old ACT

Import/Export is not required, it'd mean every night exporting and
importing. Ever tried that with 120,000 records (ACT6 only really
supports 50,000) it takes all day and that's just exporting!
