ACT! should enable your email client as part of it's contact management
regimen. Check to see what email client can be configured and send the email
via the ACT! mail API. This should also enter a record in the contact in ACT!
that the event or activity occurred. Nice from a history perspective. This
would eliminate the export. But, per the prior comment, you can export from
ACT! in a variety of compatible formats for Excel.

I am using ACT! as a DB and it has the email addresses I need to
send out a
notice once a month. I need to mail merge in Excel, so how do i
do that using
ACT without getting frustrated?
