Does anyone out there ever find any info on how to manipulate data from
ACT!6 (or any versin) using the scripting language?
May be I can learn the scripting language as well using the data I have.
I know that Ruby has the WinOLE connector, but how do I use that function to
access the ACT! Data?
I’m not aware with other language of WIN32 connector.
Thanks
I don’t profess to know much about ACT!, but how i normally tackle problems
like this is to use an OLE object viewer to inspect the interface of any COM
components installed on the machine - and then play around with WIN32OLE
until something happens.
Probably the easiest way to do it is to use VB to add references or components
depending on what ACT! ships with and use the Object Browser to look at the
interface - about the only thing that I’d trust VB for 
Once you know the Interface, then the Pickaxe has a useful chapter covering
Win32OLE and how to use it: (http://www.rubycentral.com/book/win32.html)
