Hi, I am sorry if this is a frequently asked question, but I am new to this
section and need some advice.
I am in the first stages of setting up a database program and need to know
what program to use...
There need to be three major sections containing information. A section
for case information that would include case#, name, address, ph#, date,
business info, type of complaint, etc. There would also need to be a
resource section that contains a list a available resources, what major
groups they fall into and where to find them. THere must also be a rolodex
section with all phone numbers and address. I would like the previous
three components to be cross referenced. So that if you enter a case about
auto repairs, you would get pamphlets #'s that relate to auto repairs...
We are running a ibm xt, with 20meg hard drive dd 5.25 a: drive, with
old epson fx printer.
I am rather computer literate so that shouldnt be a problem. If someone
could recommend some software packages along with the benefits or drawbacks
of each it would be VERY appreciated...
Please also mention how well dbase would work, for we could probably
get a copy of that cheaply...
Thanks in advance...
