And set up actions plans that is the item that is missing in most programs. Thanks for the tips, will look into it. I just installed google apps and am playing with the sync so I don't need a exchange server anymore. We will see :) Jim, can you do recurring appts?

Too bad I can't find any openoffice base templates for real estate agents. I honestly think my combination is fine for me, Thunderbird and Openoffice.

Also I use vcs support. I can do everything that Outlook does and I don't pay for software. I use Mozilla Thunderbird with a couple of extensions, most notably lightning and contacts sidebar.

Definitely it is worth the extra $$. I am using the 2003 version. The only drawback is that it doesn't make it easy to keep info on spouses together in the same contact folder. Other than that I don't have any complaints. Outlook’s Business Contact Manager is a great program. Definitely it is worth the extra $$. I am using the 2003 version.

Just importing names and addresses from excel into word to make labels is enough to make me crazy. I have the new 2007 suite and hoped it would make life easier but it seems worse. It should just work and it doesn't. I do use Outlook but only by default. I also use Agent Office which is a disaster too. Yep I'm frustrated with all my CRM tools.
