Hi Mark,

How many files do you have on your floppy drive? An ACT! 3.0 database
is comprised of 17 files. If you only have the DBF (extension) file
then you have only the contact information and not notes, activities
or history items.

You must copy the files from the floppy to your ACT\DATABASE
directory. In the event you only have the DBF - import as a dBase
file. If you have all 17 files then you should be able to import as an
ACT! 3.0 database using the file copied to the hard drive.
