I have a suggestion, but it won't help your current situation. Learn Spreadsheets! It's what I tell everyone I know whose going to start a business. You could say spreadsheets are a business's best friend. With a spreadsheet program you can do everything from storing data to making your own software. If you look at the worst case scenario, like you have now, you can easily cut and paste the data from one spreadsheet program to another, put in a few formulas and you're back in business. Spreadsheet programs may come and go, but spreadsheets will be around for a long time. Think about it! And while you're thinking, download the spreadsheets from my web site and see some of the different things you can do with a simple spreadsheet program. None of these spreadsheets are business related though. Their only purpose is to show how versatile spreadsheets can be. Except for maybe the checkbook spreadsheet, which I designed from Quicken. A popular home finance tracker. That one you can use to keep track of your checks. Here's a few other things you may want to consider. You don't have to include features you may not want or need. You don't have to learn how the spreadsheet works. You designed it. You can make changes at any time. No waiting for updates or new versions. To sum it up.
