I thought I sent this request previously but haven't seen it so I apologize
if this is a repeat.

I am looking for a program that can be used to manage a hobby club.
Hopefully, it would contain a database for membership and dues collection,
scheduling, notes, to-do list, easy entry and editing, etc. and support
import and export of data. Built-in standard financial and other reports
would be nice. The ability to handle a 500 member club and work with all
versions of windows from win98 up is essential. I have not been able to
find any good stuff after searching pricelessware, other freeware sites and
googling. Even the $ware programs that I was able to find leave much to be
desired.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Ray

Seems to me you are after a kind of CRM database. Most of those freeware
tools are open-source PHP/mysql scripts you can customize on a php/mysql
enabled webserver.

But often this means getting into PHP/MySQL, or try a single user turnkey
solution from one of the CRM software suppliers.


Most of the time, those packages of CRM developers are registerware (You
have to register your name and e-mail to get to the downloads. Sometimes the
trail version is the singel use version, but unless you have thousands of
members, such a trail version will not limit you in functionality

Just start good old google and type

+freeware +crm

and hit the Search button.

Thanks much for the input. I didn't even think about CRM... duh... No
problem with mySQL/PHP and I would really like to have something on the
server too. But our current server can't handle it. Maybe the next one
will.

No (not yet anyway) but I still am looking for a manager :(. So far I tried
CRMadar which sounded great but in actual use isn't very well suited to what
I need and took me about 15 tries to download. And parts of the English
version are still in non-English text. I'm afraid that CRM s/w may not be
able to be modified/configured enough to be good for the job. What I need
will be used by a number of people and without specific headers, etc.
probably will cause much confusion. Do you have any experience with CRM
applications that you might recommend a particular program?
