OK - mildly curious now ... Impressive rave. I'll let you know if I give it a go. regards Suzy It has been very reliable for me. No, it doesn't slow down the computers I have been using it on for nearly six years. I am using it to track everything, from phone calls, task times, meetings, whatever. It is useful for all sorts of things. I would be a bit lost without it now, especially my invoicing. Incidentally, I went to Journal from a timesheet spreadsheet system, and it has proven to be very efficient. It does lovely searches and so on. Very efficient. I am also using it over Business contact manager, which fowls up MSSQL for everything else you might care to use... Regards; Warren --
