I think the Willow Mountain Giving database is also written in Access. Some of the others might be as well. <br /> <br /> Roberthttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/69168.aspxMon, 15 May 2006 20:38:00 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:69168CenterforHoustonsFuture0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/69168.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&PostID=69168I&#39;m looking for a donor database for my organization that is based on Access. Does anyone have any experience or advice on finding such a system? We need to integrate donor files with an existing volunteer tracking database that is Access based.http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/60818.aspxFri, 07 Oct 2005 15:36:00 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:60818tropikist0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/60818.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&PostID=60818Tech News, United Way of New York City&#39;s online newsletter, published an article on evaluating and selecting donor management software, including strategies for selection, a system selection process and some examples of donor software appropriate for small, medium and large organizations: http://www.uwnyc.org/technews/v7_n3_a2.html <br /> <br /> In addition, Tech News featured METRIX, a free and customizable database offered by the Fund for the City of New York, in a recently published article: http://www.uwnyc.org/technews/innovations.html <br /> <br />http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/59081.aspxThu, 11 Aug 2005 02:11:00 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:59081rweiner0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/59081.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&PostID=59081This is off topic for the fundraising tech forum, but since we&#39;re on the subject... <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.accountingsoftwareadvisor.com/" target="_blank" title="http://www.accountingsoftwareadvisor.com/">Accounting Software Advisor</a> has links to reviews of most major Accounting packages.
