Is this something that could be moved to a (secure) web based tool (mysql & 
php)?  I use a tool called DBTools Pro (free, very nice) that can import 
several formats into MySQL.  It may take a little while, but you could probably 
replicate the format [of Act] into something for the web, which would make it 
available anywhere with a web connection.  I may be oversimplifying this, but 
it really think it could be done.
