Dianne,

I have a custom system in Microsoft Access.  Whatever you use, you will 
need a relational database (even if it is not called that).  At the very 
least, you need to move from Excel spreadsheet(s) to a true database program.

I can send you a "template" database, but you will need a copy of MS Access 
to use it.

I've never been happy with systems designed by other people!  I recommend 
using MS Access and learning how to tweak things to suit yourself.
