     Unless cost is an over riding issue, I suggest using the "Lotus Notes" 
     software package available from Lotus.  My site has just started using 
     the Windows package.  Lotus Notes allows you to have the standard 
     dBase functions with the following additional features:
     
     Easier trending            Electronic mail         Auto printed report
     Auto notification of due dates            Auto notification of actions
     
     The only drawback I know of is that you have to have a good deal of 
     knowledge to program in Lotus Notes.  Feel free to call me or E-mail 
     me directly for more info.

Dear Radsafers:
     
This questions is directed to any of you out there who 
use a computer based data based management system to 
keep track of typical databases in a Radiation Safety
Office(inventory, laboratory information, users, calibrations 
etc.)
     
What system are you using?
     
Was the software written in-house or bought from 
outside company?
     
Are the staff who use the system networked?
     
If you bought a program from a vendor, what program 
is it (e.g. CHAMMP, etc.) and how do you like it?
     
Any other info. is appreciated.  THANKS!
