A couple of months back Brandstar designed and published a free Address Book tool. The Address Book is ran on Microsoft Access, however don’t stop reading now if you’re thinking ‘I don’t have Access’, you can download for free Access 2007:Access Runtime. The download allows those who don’t have Access to run Access files. It’s great!
The tool came about when Graham, from the Brandstar and pctoolbox team, noticed that many people want a simple tool that can be used for storing information such as; people’s contact details so they can print off labels at Christmas or email address’s for email newsletters.
The database has many features:
- Easily store Friends, Family, Customers, Subscribers or Supporters Contact Details: Name, Address, Phone, Email, Website etc.
- Sort users by first/last name
- Easily add/edit/delete records from a simple user friendly interface
- Print individual records
- Print labels of those registered to receive a newsletter
- Email direct from the system those who you have registered to receive an email newsletter
- These emails are sent BBC (Blind Carbon Copy) so that you are not spreading everyone’s email address
- Search Contacts
- The latest version (1.2 standard) comes with a new style user interface, just as easy to use as before, but a bit more … interesting!
- And most importantly….it’s free!!
Now you know what it is, I better tell you how to use it……
