Good morning:
I'm in the process of opening up a small business and am in need of a
database that will allow me to keep track of customers (general contact
information, and special account notes).
I'm also needing the database to allow me to keep track of invoices/service
calls with the option to input my own notes based on each service call.
It'll also need to keep record of parts, labor, sales tax, payments, and
allow me to easily pull the service records per client...
So far, Microsoft Access has the Service Call Management template that
sufficiently does everything I need to do (with the exception of the notes
field being much too short, I can see myself needing more than 250
characters for this field). However, I'm not interested in using Microsoft
products after being turned on to OpenOffice.
Is such a template available for OpenOffice Database? I've already looked
the OOExtras page and attempted to search thru Google but have not come up
with any sufficient hits for the OpenOffice Database.
Or if there is a way to convert the Microsoft Template, or build the
database and convert it for use with OpenOffice (I've already tried this,
however the forms and queries were not maintained in the OO version), life
would be great.
Thank you for any advice you fine folks can offer.
