saw the article on news forge about using open office for a invoice management system. I need something a little more sophisticated and I wonder if it is something open office can do.

I need to build a journal of what activities are performed for customer plus record information that might be useful in other places (i.e. log how Apache cost me more time than it should have and why)

each journal entry must allow me to switch between customers and record the time of each transition so that the right people get billed for the right work.

from this journal, I need to extract dates, hours, and customer. From that, I can then build 80% of an invoice. The rest is a manual summation of the journal. At the same time, I need to extract the entire journal, put it into an e-mail message and then let me edit the journal so I can remove the "things the customer shouldn't see" bits of text that inevitably crawl into a journal.

Is this something one can build out of open office relatively easily or am I doomed and must build my own application external to open office?

Many thanks for your insight,
