Hi,
Just started a job in software sales and realised that a) whilst a filofax is fine for recording 'phone numbers in it's a bit cumbersome for adding emails/urls/mobile nos. as well and b) a notebook is fine for jotting down a few notes but becomes unwieldy after a couple of weeks as there is no 'auto search'...!
Tried using the 'Address Book' in Outlook BUT a) my computer crashed without the system people doing a backup (*may* get it back yet) and b) it is very limited in what it actually does - and as for getting printouts - you can have have name + phone number or name + email BUT you can't seem to be able to print out all details for a single contact! (If someone knows how to do this I would be eternally grateful).
So, what I would like is some software that keeps track of contacts (all details) AND allows you to add notes on a date basis AND allows you to print out everything belonging to s single contact AND allows you to synchronise databases if, as I will, you have the same software at home and at work. Oh, and the ability to search the notes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a million
Dave

Dave,
Sounds like you need something like ACT or Goldmine though they are quite cumbersome. If you want something simple and free have a look here www.landerconsultants.com (Q contact manager, its free!)
