MessageLarry,
I just called Gold Mine and their standard program will not work with VISTA,
which is the operating on my new computer and also they plan to discontinue
support for the standard edition in late Feb 2008. They do not know if the
corporate edition will work with JAWS, but will work with Vista sometime late
Feb or March. Also the corporate edition is more money to purchase.
As you said, one would think FS would make the program usable with some sort of
contact database. Wonder what they use for their CRM! I know years back they
used ACT which is what I used but it will not work with VISTA and the upgrade
ACT 2007 I purchased, is a nightmare. I called FS and some idiot had no clue
nor did he know what they use for their CRM software program.
Maybe someone on this board can shed some light on a CRM program I can work
with, but so far you're the only reply I got.
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
Mark A.

Mark,
Basically you have two options and they both suck.
One of them is the calendar and contact manager in Outlook not Outlook
express, this is the one I use.
The other option would be to try Gold Mine. It's pretty cloodgy but you might
have some luck with it.
I thought about trying to hack something together with access but haven't
gotten around to that project yet.
Isn't it strange that JAWS is the acronym for "Job Access for Windows" and FS
is absolutely clueless when it comes to contact management software.

Subject: Contact Database Compatibility
I recently purchased a new computer with VISTA OS and it required I upgrade
my contact Database, ACT 4.0 to ACT 2007. ACT 2007 is next to impossible to
use due to frames/panes/ & many other issues which I do not seem to be able to
find a way to navigate to the area of the records I must access or even able to
locate specific records.
Does anyone out there use a contact database which is accessible.
I've used ACT 4.0 for many, many years and think I must now find another
dimilar contact database to track my customers. Features I need in a contact
database are the usual fields for customer information, ability to set alarms
for call backs & meetings, ability to create notes within a contact. All of
which were easily accessible inACT 4.0 but are much to confusing with no
apparent logic in ACT 2007.
If anyone is using a contact database similar, kindly let me know your
choice(s).
Thanks
Mark A.
