Hi Bob, Thanks for the tip on using Notepad for keeping a log. I'm sure I'll find this very handy at some point. I looked at a number of diary products with limited success. I found a product called "Ultra Recall" that looks very promising. It has a fairly steep learning curve but also seems quite powerful. I'm using the demo version but will make a purchase decision by Wednesday. I'm including a link to the company's web site in case you want to take a look. http://www.kinook.com/UltraRecall/ I also found a product called "Advanced diary" that was pretty handy but I was not able to gain access to the results of text searches. It would work well if you only needed to keep a journal by date (or if you figure out how to access the search results). Once again thanks for the tip.

If you find something real good, I'd like to hear about it. In the mean time. Here is a trick with regular Notepad. Start a new file and type .LOG at the beginning of the file. Make sure it is all caps.Each time you open the file later. Notepad will go to the bottom of the file and insert the current date and time. Very handy.

I'd like something that allows me to keep multiple logs (personal & business, etc). and be searchable. Any recommendations?
