[CAUT] Database

[Chris Solliday]

I don't want to get commercial on this list but I as a CAUT member I would
be remiss if I didn't mention that ExecuKey has a similar database which is
already to use and can interact with scheduling, invoicing, service history
and many other items used daily. You can check it out and download a free
version at www.execukey.com Personally I like Filemaker it is an excellent
program, but it does have a learning curve that is more "behind the scenes,"
and then you have to connect it to anything else. Just an added suggestion,
no sales pitch intended. Chris Solliday
