Make sure you have the latest version of the software, I just spoke with them recently and they updated it to accomodate a specific customer request I had.

Let us know.

Caution on egrabber though. We tried it on a DB with a lot of doctors. It wasn’t worth a darn. The docs had father/son at the same address along with multiple offices in the same town. Program could not tell the difference between it all.

Roberta- Good question... I happen to know it does work with ACT! 2007, perhaps Chandra can reply with more information as to the versions. Of course you can follow the links here to get more details.

We only have 2007, will this work the same?

Chandra- Thanks for taking the time to offer such a detailed response. I think this will clarify it for many readers. Indeed your examples for why duplicates are bad are good ones (I was trying to avoid creating a looooong video). The fact is, there is nothing else that I'm aware of that makes duplicate cleanup exercise go so fast! A smart move you made at eGrabber, was giving users the ability to download and try it against their own DB to get a feel for how it works. I encourage anyone who faces this issue to give the trial a run. Get the more info here.
