3.0 out of 5 stars A book on Act 2000, September 13, 2005

By	Gyorgy Orosz Dr "George Orosz" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had been using Act 2000 for a long time, and this year I purchased Act 2005. If you are an Act 2000 fan, it is for you. But the many new options, interface (and bugs) of Act 2005 made this book outdated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for on-the-spot answers, March 18, 2005

By	Thomas Dunham "Los Pepes" (Catonsville, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you, or many people in your organization, use ACT! day-to-day, for general contact management (but you're not trying to "split the atom" with it), than this book is a great, general purpose go-to book for quick, simple, straight-forward answers.

Easy to use, well-written, nice screen caps. There is, however, very little information in here about more advanced items (such as using the ACT! developer API/SDK).
