I'm looking for a simple database template or software to manage some 200-250 contracts that we have with outside vendors. I've looked for a template at the microsoft site and couldn't find anything close. I would write something myself but don't have the time and I need a quick fix. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am interested in having a similar database built in access. We need to manage our contacts and the different programs they have attended. If anyone has any templates they can send me I'd really appreciate it. My email is Tamikaw@drexel.edu

We use Meditract.com also and have had great success. Contracts are easily scanned in. You can authorize who you want to be able to pull up the contracts for viewing.

For a quick set up you could use a template in Access. I currently use a contract management company call Meditract (www.meditract.com). They are wonderful. I have full access to all contract information and scanned copies of the contract 24/7.
Good Luck.

P.S. I forgot to mention, that you can set the fields based on what your needs are. I like it because you can create the fields and you can link tables together. Let me know if I can be of any help to you.

Hi, Alan, the best suggestion I could give you is Access 2007. With the many features it has, it could be set up to do whatever you need it to do. I just recently learned it and would highly consider it for managing your contracts. Other software suggestions I could give are Filemaker Pro, Act and Excel. Building databases is a part of my part-time busines and Access, Excel and FilemakerPro are the software programs I generally use. They can meet your needs for sure. Hope this helps.

The easiest thing to do would be to create an Access database. All you will need to do is choose the fields and go from there.
Please let me know if I can help.

Microsoft has Access and Excel for databases. If you already have the information in a microsoft document, you should be able to save it into a database.

Hi Alan:
Our company uses Access right now but for a quick fix, you should use Excel. I'd like to email you a copy of our database as a template but I do not have your email address. If you can send me your address I can send you a quick template that you may be able to use. Ours worked wonderfully for many years.
My email address is: dbrown@tks-america.com
Have a great day!

I have used Filemaker and it comes with a basic contacts database template. I agree that the quickest solution is to use Excel and use the sort function.

Alan, I don't know if this would help you or not, but I manage about 75 contracts with a program called Contract Assistant. Their contact information is - Blue Ridge Software 949-509-7500 and their web address is www.blueridgesoftware.bz/index.asp
Hope that helps and it wouldn't hurt to look into it to see if they could meet your needs. Deb

I'm a big fan of Microsoft Access and swear it can be set up to do whatever you need it to do.

I am surprised that you don't think that Microsoft Excel is the quick fix. Also, Access 07 has many.
