About Internet Services

ACT! Premium for Web Server's integrated Internet Services feature allows you to access an Internet browser through ACT! Premium for Web Server and provides direct links to ACT! products, service and support, and other information Web pages. To use Internet Services, you need an Internet account, an Internet Service Provider, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.

From the View menu, the Internet Services command provides access to other ACT! reference and support Web sites, as well as the Best Software Corporation Web Site. From the Internet Links submenu, you have links to several reference and research sites such as MapQuest and Yahoo Search.

The reference and research sites will vary according to your country.

You can create and manage favorite Internet links to Web sites you visit frequently, such as a company intranet, and you can display those links on the ACT! Links menu. These links are like Favorites or Bookmarks in Internet Explorer, except they appear in ACT! Premium for Web Server.

You can get a map or driving directions for a contact and attach a Web page to a contact record.

When you click the Web site address for a contact, ACT! Premium for Web Server's integrated Internet Services feature opens the site in Internet Explorer.
