Client database

[David M. Porritt]

Jeff:

For what you need Access seems like overkill to me.  I have been using Time & Chaos for my customer database, my calendar, my to-do list.  You can download it for free and try it.  If you like it, you'll need to buy it but it is only something like $45.00.  

I think you can try it for 2 weeks or so.  By then you'll know if you like it.  You can get it from:

>Hi all,
>I have some questions about client management software.  Since I have a 
>fairly small private clientele, it isn't worth spending a fortune on 
>database software, so we're trying to keep this as cheap as possible.  
>My wife is trying to set something up so that she can help me manage my 
>private customers (I am a terrible secretary).  I've been using index 
>cards so far, but there's no way for me to put all the information I 
>know about a customer on index cards that she would need.  We have 
>Microsoft Access which was a part of the software already installed on 
>our computer, and she also has Publisher '97, which interfaces somehow 
>with Access, in doing mailing labels, etc.

>Neither of us are computer gurus, and she is much more familiar with 
>the PC softwares, while I am more familiar with the Macintosh softwares 
>on this computer at the school.

>Are any of you using Access, and if so have you developed a client 
>record template you are satisfied with?

>Are the templates transferrable? (emailable)  How does that work?

>Unless you feel this is good fodder for the list, you can feel free to 
>email me privately.

>Thanks in advance,
>Jeff
