I think we would all love to find such a program to organize our lives. Thank you, Dana

I assume you want it so you can download it to your computer and run it without Internet connectivity? I'm sure there has to be something simple out there like that that either uses Microsoft SQL database or another type of database with a simple drag and friendly front-end. Which version of Dragon are you running currently? What kind of problems were you having with office 2007? Did you need it by a certain time and if so when or I am assuming just as soon as possible? – Danny From: Dave Krehbiel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2012 6:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] any database software for quadriplegics? I am looking for a simple database management program , or contact management software, maybe something simple like the old PFS file. I am currently running Dragon NaturallySpeaking on Microsoft Windows XP. I would like to set up a simple database to keep contact information (names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, scheduled times to call, notes...) and tasks. Does anyone have experience with a software package, which can work well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking? I have personally had problems running Microsoft office 2007 with Dragon. Excel and Word and Powerpoint frequently hang up, and so I don't want to experiment with Microsoft Access. Before my injury, I used ACT!, But the reason supported versions of ACT! Are now running as a client/server application, and it just seems a bit too complicated for me these days. I have been storing information by creating text files accessed via DragonPad and WordPad and PolyEdit (an inexpensive word processing program I highly recommend). I am currently storing all my e-mail addresses in Outlook, and I am storing telephone numbers in Skype, and I am maintaining my calendar in a free online application (_www.toodledo.com_ (http://www.toodledo.com/) ). Naturally, I also have access to contact information in Facebook in Linked-In as well. I would very much like to find some sort of a way to store all the information in one place. First question: can you recommend any software or applications which you think can help? Second question: if I am successful in coming up with some good options, is anyone else interested in this sort of thing? Thanks, Dave Krehbiel. (301) 924-4530
