I just wish there was a program out there (commercial would be fine) that would cover everything and make records officers jobs that little bit easier but I suppose we're not a big enough market. Instead we have solutions that are most of the way there i.e. Joe Tapley's 'clubrecs', Mike Douglas's 'archrecs' or end up with individual clubs coming up with their own solution e.g. MooMop's or Meta's
The issue of handicap copyright seems one of the major hurdles but I doubt anything will ever be done about that. |
While not DOS based, ArchRecs does live within the limitations of applications written in Access. It does the job, just.
We have now gone down the route of writing our own. Having started working on it last year for our records officer, I am glad I did, since I am now club records officer. It is very nice being able to add all the little features and niceties as I like them. Just about to build in a direct link to our club web site so that I can automatically update the current handicaps and classifications in the members area.
Best of luck in your records officer's job!
