Title: Membership Database templates?
Post by: cmorningstar on September 08, 2006, 19:13:10
Hello everyone,
I've taken on the role of membership secretary :o at our allotment association and want to create a database of membership details.  We are currently using an excel spreadsheet and it is not the greatest.  I was wondering if anyone knows of any membership templates that are floating around in cyberspace - I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.  I've spent the last couple of hours playing around with Access and realise that it is going to take a long time to get one set up starting from scratch.  And I've managed to completely b*gger up my first two efforts. . . . yikes.
Many thanks in advance,
Cari

Try the following site for free software for membership database.

Place your cursor over the program names and a bubble appears giving details as to whether it is free or not.
