hi guys,
I needed some way to keep track of the realtors I send my brochures to, and who gives me an inspection from the mailing of the brochures, and to print out the mailing labels to send off the brochures, and so on. so I made up a little database. I wrote it in Microsoft Access. If you have a use for it, I will send you over a copy. You need Access 2000 or 2003. If you have an older version of Access I can convert it for your use. Anyway, it keeps the basic data on the real estate agent, the last date you sent them a brochure, and how many inspections you have received from that realtor. Then it prints out the mailing labels. I use the Avery 8160 labels. If you know anything about MS Access , you could modify the report to use your style/number of mailing label. You can now download the program at one of my websites at: http://www.msaccessapps.com/ezrealtor.html kevin rea Last edited by krea; 9/13/06 at 4:45 PM.. |

It'll can be very handy for those who haven't developed their own, but Access doesn't come with the basic Office. Pretty pricey (but really good) database program.
Thanks for sharing with NACHI. -- Erby Crofutt B4U Close Home Inspections Georgetown, Kentucky KY Lic# HI-2041 www.b4uclose.com http://www.kentuckyradon.com Kentucky Home Inspections Kentucky Home Inspectors NACHI02090301 Read my Active Rain Blog here: Erby, The Central Kentucky Home Inspector Join Active Rain HERE and I'll get some points for your participation.

If you don't have Access, or Microsoft Office, you can get Open Office 2.0. It's an open source, free download office suite, and it will open and edit anything in Microsoft Office. I'll try this realtor database with Open Office, just to make sure it works, but I'm fairly sure it will. I've been able to open any other office document with Open Office.

I made up something similar, also in Access, but I like yours better. I'll have to use it. Thanks.

ok,
well, it depends of course where you put the program.., but, the easiest way would be to bring up windows explorer or my computer, and bring up the location of the .mde file in that window., then just Right click and hold your mouse button down and drag the .mde file out to your desktop, release the right mouse button and then select 'Create Shortcuts here'. and, that should do it. kevin |
