You could also use a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) application. It might be a bit *overkill* but something like vtiger (http://www.vtiger.com) is free software, runs on Windows or Linux as a web application in the LAMP, MAMP or WAMP stacks, and will enable you do everything you need and quite a bit more. It is multi-user too. HTH Alan -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
