FWIW, Jer, I really liked the database that you showed me in FileMakerPro but was faced with the same dilemma that I had with PTBiz some time back. All of the sudden the programmer decided that he wasn't interested in supporting his own effort any longer. Before that he had specifically asked users for input on what we thought that the program should include and the reply I receive back from a laundry list of items it took some time to investigate was "what's it worth to you?" Now I thought that he was looking to improve things with input not bucking for more dollars. He then added a dongle type thing which simply made the program a P.I.T.A. at which point I dropped it and moved to Quickbooks and a paper calendar. Bummer. Someday. Maybe. But it will have to be from a company that will be around for a while before I throw my hat in again.

Use it for both my main customer data base, as a billing program and for letter writing. But, I use MS Outlook for scheduling.

I've been searching for this for decades. I have a guy working on it right now. He is interested in feedback from people who want what I do.

Do you guys know of/use a software that has the best of both. I hate switching back and forth between two programs. I would rather find something that can do both.
