HP Assistant (was Health Physics Records Tracking Database)

We have been using HP Assistant from Onsite Systems.  It comes with most or
all of the features you mentioned, but it is also designed to be easily
customized by Onsite to individual users.

A couple years ago I created an email list for users of HP Assistant.  I've
found when using these s/w packages there is at least a couple ways to
achieve the same thing, and it's helpful to have an email list to flush out
the best solution.  It's been a *very* quite list lately, but there's still
30 or 40 people subscribed, and if you're interested in reviews of this
software package you might want to email questions to hpausers@mail.orst.edu

Subject: Health Physics Records Tracking Database


I am interested in finding out who is using a commercially available
health physics records tracking database.  I am not interested in
a "home brew" database as I need a company that stands behind
its product and provides technical support, especially WAN/LAN
or Internet interfacing with Novell.

I am currently using the CHAMMP program, but the company who
supports the software is folding up its tent.  Therefore, I am looking
into long range options to replace this database.

The type of database I am looking for would track all NRC records
for a Broad Scope licensee such as training, instrument calibrations,
incoming packages, researcher protocols, internal license limits, x-ray/ct
surveys, decay-in-storage waste, sewer disposal waste, inventory,
user locations and worker demographics, at a minimum.
I would also like to know if the database is a "MS Windows 
emulator" rather than DOS-based, as I prefer a Windows platform.

I also know all about Canberra's HIS-20 database, so please don't
provide me with info on this system.  However,  if you're a pharma/
university/medical group who uses HIS-20, I would be interested
in hearing about your experiences with it versus the size of 
your HP program.

If you don't want to respond via the listserver, please feel free to
email me personally.

My thanks in advance to all those who respond.

Regards,
Vince
