Are there any database experts out there, specifically who know Alpha 5, that can advise us on programming a database to keep track of contacts with a large number of students (many users at a time)? We know Access extremely well, but it does not seem to be suited to this purpose. We have used Filemaker and it is not sophistocated enough. We are considering purchasing Alpha 5, but are having dificulty learning how to program in it. Can anyone advise us or even suggest another program? Please reply to my programming assistant: Jason Wiltfeuer wiltfeuerj@duq.edu Thank you, Sherry Goldman
