Filemaker has the power, with its relational capabilities, to do this: As I build the invoice for that client, the same information remains as the service history for that piano. Enter everything only once. On Elance, data specialist can export and migrate all types of data. I don't know PTBiz but most likely you'd find someone who can do that for you.

And as an extension of that, how to manage late payments, no payments, monthly income, yearly income, etc. Also, it would seem, from this distance at least, that you would need to enter at least some data twice when you do an invoice. Seems like extra work -- or am I missing something regarding the invoicing? [.] I wish complete data export were possible, so I could migrate to another program. But the thought of having to do all that makes me shudder. :-( -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
