Unable to import/restore ACT! 2009 database [ Edited ]

[billvanz]

I have ACT 2009 and I had it backed up on carbonite.  Got a virus and had to clean my Cdrive and reinstall ACT and import database.  The database seems to be there on the desktop, but I can't get ACT to import it.  Can you help?

You can't just import it... you need to open it.

What files have you got?

• To restore, you need a ZIP backup
• To open it, you need the ADF/ALF and the database files folder - if you have these, delete the PAD file, then open ACT! and: File | Open (change file type to ADF) and select the file
