I am a new member of the Flint Linux User Group (is the website down or is it just me?). I spoke to Clay at my first meeting about how I have been wrestling with Microsoft Access and Openoffice.org Base; I intensely dislike both programs. <br>
<br>I am a Franciscan friar (a type of Catholic monk). I have had the computers here at the friary on Ubuntu for over two years now but there are still some Microsoft programs that I must use. Years ago somebody set up our mailing list on Access and it worked well but I really want to get away from that ( I accidentally encrypted the mailing list or something and I have no "access" to my data). I retyped the list for Base but that is not working out at all.<br>
<br>All we need is a database for around 700 names, addresses & info (for now - probably no more than 1,000) and a graphical way to access/add/modify/delete individual records and print labels (5160). Clay said that it should be a fairly easy thing to accomplish but somebody needs to program the gui.<br>
<br>Our community is a tax exempt corporation and I am able to give a tax letter to those who would be able to donate their skills to help me out with this.<br><br>Br. Athanasius <br>
