Kurt, Well, yes you can, but it would take a great deal of customizing to get the same screen you look at with Peakes product. His deal is that hes taken the time to develop something that looks and works well right out of the box. Trouble is, what if he decides hes not making enough money at this little venture and the heck with it. No more support, operating systems change and you have to reload it but hes not supporting that so youre out of luck now that you finally have all 3,500 customers loaded into this new fancy system. This happened to me with PtBiz and with Piano Service Manager. I now use Quickbooks and suffer through the stuff it doesnt do like reminder cards. Quickbooks, as far as anybody knows, isnt going anywhere any time soon. If it does there will be a slew of major players out there writing things to allow you to import its data into their systems quite nicely Im sure. I went with compatibility!

So could I simply use out-of-the-box Filemaker pro then? Kurt ...Filemaker Pro which is a very good database. I thought that there was a bunch of unnecessary stuff in it and rather expensive. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
