A good off the shelf product has hopeful had the kinks worked out of it by previous users.</p> <p>Best wishes,</p> <p>Sasha</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99113.aspxMon, 18 May 2009 21:28:06 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:99113pantherafoundation0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99113.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&PostID=99113<p>Hi! I&#39;m Justine and I&#39;m wondering about donor management software.</p> <p>We are trying to choose a software for a small grant-making organization that will allow customization for reporting by varied criteria and are thinking of customizing Microsoft Access instead of using one of the off-the-shelf databases or online systems. I&#39;ve read articles from this site but am wondering if anyone has any advice for customizing Access or on an online system that works particularly well. Thanks!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
