Is there any way to transfer data from PTBiz to a new program? Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Is anyone using the technician software listed on ptg.org? ExecuKey PianoDB by D C Al Coda PowerTech PeakeWare If you are a user of any of the above, is your experience favorable? Would you recommend it? I'm looking to replace PTBiz since apparently it is no longer being sold or supported. (I'd hate to think about the mess I'd be in if something happened to the program or Hasp hardware key and I couldn't retrieve my data - yikes!) Any other software out there that is user-friendly, does invoicing, reminders, and accounting, and is priced under $400.00? Am I living in "dream world"? PTBiz has done everything that I have needed. While it certainly has its quirks, I like that it's compact and doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" that I don't really need. It seems to make sense to look toward a program that will allow data to be easily transferred into other programs, such as MS Access (or another popular database). That way, if a program becomes obsolete for whatever reason, one doesn't have to re-type all the data into the new program. Any ideas?
