Can I just use Excel or Quickbooks?
Of course! Database programs such as FileMaker Pro, Access and Panorama are readily available for purchase. Any of these programs can store data. Even a file box with index cards will work. However, with off-the-shelf software you need to spend time to configure the files, learn the program, and write all the scripts. Plus, all the information entered is trapped on one computer. Would you rather learn to program a database or work with your group? PT Avenue is ready to work from the first day you sign up, and is continually being improved. It was written from the bottom up to fit the needs of Parent-Teacher organizations in one convenient location.
