Issue 20 • ACT! 2005/2006 Edition

Dear FIRSTNAME,

You have a car. You change the oil. If you never change the oil, your car will not perform well.

ACT! has a maintenance feature that is a bit like changing the oil in your database. This feature is called Check and Repair. You should run a Check and Repair at least once a month per database.

Running Routine Maintenance
Relevant for ACT! 2005 & ACT! 2006 Users

If you're experiencing problems with an ACT! database, you might want to run the Check and Repair feature on it. This new feature in ACT! 2006 will analyze the most commonly corrupted areas of your database for problems. It can also rebuild the index files for the database, which will make your database perform better.

The Check and Repair feature performs two functions. It will check the database for errors, and it will reorganize the index files to give you optimal database performance. Before starting this task, make sure you have a recent backup of your database.

To perform a Check and Repair:

Click Tools | Database Maintenance | Check and Repair.
Select whether or not to perform an integrity check or a reindex.
Click OK. ACT! will check and repair the database.
