Works as well as the other ones I've had done locally.

It was nice to get all the data entered into the database right then and there. However, that's a lot of weight to be lugging around! I still have the printer if you want to buy it ... cheap. :) If I had time, I'd like to figure out how to make an iPad work for database entry. Maybe a couple years from now it will be able to run Filemaker or a scaled down version of it. The idea of email billing also sounds intriguing. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
