They created their own "customer contact" system by exporting their Outlook
contact list into Access. Not sure what they will move to, but she
mentioned SQL so that is what I relayed.

Sorry if it appears that way, but I was looking for recommendations. MS

reason I psuedo-discounted the Xandros recommendation was that the MS
compatibility isn't needed. If it's still a good release, then I'll look
into it.
