Thanks in > advance for any suggestions. I'm sending this to both the list and to you off-list so you can reply directly to me. I'm currently using MS Access (98) and an Access application I designed myself. It isn't actually 100% finished (there are a few minor details to be done)but it is essentially complete. If you have Access, I can send you an empty (no datarecords/phonorecords) copy of the database as an attachment; I can also explain a bit about how to use the various features of Access to create querios which will allow you to sort on any field of the data tables. ...stevenc http://users.interlinks.net/stevenc/
