Hi

There is no facility available in the existing system to do this. You can directly do it in database or write a php script to do so.

Hi bjq67

You can create a button on Contacts DetailView just like the "Convert Lead" button on Leads DetailView. Have a look at the script modules/Leads/metadata/detailviewdefs.php
The action of the new button should be a script to be developed, which will create a new user based on Contacts information.
Use the function clone_history to copy the activities records from the contact to user.

Cheers
