Hi Dana:
you need a program to input data from WP into Paradigm97. I have written
code which updates automatically from one database to another for the
web. It is one page of code which translates the information. I don't
know about "programs" though. I will ask my boss see if he knows
something I don't (this is highly likely - since he has been in the
business for 20 years.)
As far as registration online - (I do this daily) - there is no
"program" that will do this. You need a knowledgeable person, who knows
HTML, ASP and Access. Please do not buy FrontPage or dreamweaver or any
other WYSIWYG program thinking it will be able to do what you ask. You
are wasting your money. As far as finding a person out there that will
do this for you? Check your local colleges - there are students begging
for experience. It would be a good addition to a resume. Pay them a
couple of hundred dollars or make it into an "internship." If you hire
someone like me you will be charged in the 10,000 to 20,000 dollar
range. (But then it will be done correctly. :))

Subject: Software for Registration
Hi Folks!
I work in the (small)education department of a (large) historical and
genealogical society. The three of us in the department are responsible
for
organizing, promoting, and running all aspects of over 50 education
programs
yearly. These programs range from week-long international tours to
weekend
seminars to free public lectures.
In order to process the registrations for these programs we have the
grueling task of filling out little paper registration slips, entering
that
same information into a WordPerfect database, merging the data file with
a
form file (whether that be a list of participants for our files,
confirmation letters, or nametags), stamping the slip "posted", then
entering the same information into a separate Paradigm97 membership
database, etc., etc. (You get the picture :(.) We are in dire need of a
software program to handle registrations that will hopefully eliminate
all
of this red tape that we do daily.
In addition, our society is revamping its Internet site, and we will
soon be
able to take program registrations over the web. Please let me know if
any
of you are familiar with a software program that will help us through
this
jumbled mess.
Thanks!
Dana Lanier
