We recently bought a PC for our church and would like to keep
track of our membership and visitors with it. 

Here are the needs, as I see them today:

  1. Keep a record of church members including address
     and a record of attendance.
  2. Keep a record of visitors.
  3. Record weekly giving of members and issue individual
     reports to members at tax time.

Should we buy specialized church software or a general purpose 
data base.  If the latter, which one?  We would rather not do
a lot of programming, so are there "templates" or "applications"
written to do the job.  I mean, I could write something to track 
their names, addresses, etc., but tracking attendance and giving 
is a little bit more difficult.

Thanks in advance for your help.  Please email replies.


Regards,

Ron Abramson
