Thanks Les. Yes, it does cause issues... more of a PIA than anything. We're
using 2005 for Workgroups and our ACT people/consultants recognized this as a
big bug - in the fact that an admin must always be logged in. Evidentily,
they fixed it up from 2006 and onwards and i think they did turn it into a
service. If anyone knows of anything for Act Premium for Workgropus 2005,
that would be a big help.
