Finding the default location of the ACT! Reports

Running an ACT! Report is easy because you're given a number of options for finding reports. You can run a report from the Report menu that appears in the menu bar of every ACT! view, or you can choose a report from the Report view. Either of these methods is actually a shortcut for running a report template located within the supplementary folders area of your database.

It's a good idea to know the exact location on your computer that stores the actual report templates. For example, you might need to move some of your reports to a new computer, or save a report that someone else developed for you.

How to do it...

Click ACT!'s Help menu, and then click About ACT!. The About ACT! dialog box appears.
Click the Database Information button. The Database Information dialog box appears.
Scroll down the list in the Database Settings Information section to the Supplemental File Location entry. The location of the reports will appear in the Current Value section.

How it works...

When you create an ACT! database, a set of supplementary folders is created as well. These folders house the various files associated with your database such as your layouts, attachments, and reports.

There's more...

If the field structure of two databases is the same, you can share reports between the databases by copying the report files of one database and pasting them into the reports folder of the other database.
