[Yr7-10it] Electronic reporting system

[Dr Paul Chandler]

Colleagues,

One of my roles is as Markbook administrator, and this is my 6th year in the job.  I am well supported by secretarial staff.

I fully concur with Allan's comments.  Noting that, with a large database, it is infinately more stable under sql server than .mdb implementation.

If anyone would like to chat about "how we do it", then please feel free to be in touch.

Cheers,

We have been using MarkBook this year for the first time - was fairly
intensive in terms of setting it up and getting the templates working, but
runs very smoothly if it is set up correctly.

The support (which you pay for as an annual subscription) is fantastic and
should be taken out at least for the first year or two until it is set up
properly.

We issue around 1500 certificates a year, and have a person working on it
2 - 3 days a week, so it is pretty intensive and needs good time allocation.



Regards
Allan Barnes

Our school is considering alternatives to Filemaker as a reporting system.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a better alternative? What do people think
of Markbook?

Sounds like a good port of Open Office to run on a Mac. Only review that
I read suggested that if you can use an X11 application, then use the
Mac OS X release of OpenOffice.org
