Hi, everyone, Apologies for cross-posting - I'm still, still learning this system. I have a client who writes a lot of one-page reports, almost boiler plate. They want to use a database type filing system, so that they can bring up a form on screen, fill it out, print it and ship it. Then a month later, they can, pull up the informaiton from the form and cite it off. One entry serves 2 purposes, so to speak. Traceability is an issue in this business, so an electronic system that didn't crash too often would be a good idea. The present system is ancient, virtually all paper, and very little logic. This doesn't sound all that difficult to me, who never wrote C++. I could probably put something together using Excel, but it would not have an accounting level audit trail. Who has some thoughts on decent software? for another small client (<10 people) Thanks now, Jay -- Jay Warner Principal Scientist Warner Consulting, Inc. 4444 North Green Bay Road Racine, WI 53404-1216 USA Ph: (414) 634-9100 FAX: (414) 681-1133 email: a2q@execpc.com Power to the data!
