Database

[Botasha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Ann S. Botash, MD)]

Kirsten,

I have a database on filemaker pro, which results in an electronic medical
record as well as keeps track of lots of research information. At the
moment, I have it on Mac, but am switching to windows. Other programs which
may be useful are Access and dataease. David Kerns (CA) has a group of
people involved in a collab. study using dataease. Let me know if I can
help further.
