Hi Annamarie, Are you near Amherst? C'mon by for a visit. It's almost lunchtime and I'd be happy to chat with you about Bento... Seriously, I've been using Bento for several years and while it's not as feature-rich as Filemaker Pro — at least from a business perspective — I find it super easy to use and very integrated with iCal and Address book, and even with Officetime, which I've been using to track my time and itemize my bills. I think it's great for a consultant. Filemaker is fairly complicated for a one-person business, imo. Give me a call when you have a chance and we can set something up. Best, Kimo AZURELINK :: "Simply Connected!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Site Design & Scalable, Managed Web Hosting Joomla!
