I have a customer who has decided to install ACT! by Sage on his SBS2003
server. I sets itself up in the Admin "Mydocuments" which to me is a bad
place to set up an shared folder with all user all privagles access. I
suggested he contact their support and go back and set it up on another
drive.

Have any of you had any experience with ACT! on SBS? Its a customer database
management tool of some kind I believe.

Joe,

No experience here but I found this article from the Sage Knowledgebase
which talks about moving the location of the default database and other
folders. Maybe it will help.

.... you can resolve this issue by changing your default database path to a
location on your hard drive, outside of your user profile path

I suggested he try installing it on another drive where I had set up SQL and
some other programs. Tech support had told hoim it "had" to be on the C:
drive. I suggested he should give it a try anyway.

I have had some experience with ACT! Let's just say that I was as
unimpressed with it as I am with most software today. It's big, bulky,
fragile, and slow. Be careful with it.
