Title: Any help would be appreciated
Post by: Kratos on March 19, 2012, 09:17:47 pm: I want to make a database of my customers so that I have a history of what I did and when I did repairs. I know I could put everything in Excel, but I wanted to know do you guys have any idea what software allows me to edit the fields and then I put the information in, then with the same software I can do a search query for example like name, phone or Order ID and get the customers repair history etc.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Excelent app. Excel sucks in terms of administration and I have experience with that stuff (I do parttime E-learning administration at a big hospital in my country).

OpenOffice has a program similar to Access

Why can't linux developers realize if they go the GUI route they need to run pure Qt and not this KDE, GNOME, whatever bullshit. If you want to be labeled "cross-platform" then you need to run STAND ALONE cross-platform.

Agreed. They even wanted to port it to HaikuOS, which, in that state, totaly defeats the reason to run haiku in the first place...

But aside from that; it lets you run some cool apps if you want them and if you can tolerate to the somewhat failing explorer integration... On the bright side: If you run a lot of these KDE apps you'll get the benifit of shared resources :)
