Has anybody used the membership programme on PastPerfect?
Are there any bugs with the programme.  We have a really small membership
and was planning on using this system for our collection and membership.  Is
there anything I should beaware of.  We are currently just using Access and
of course it does have all the bells and whistles that it appears that
PastPerfect has.

Thanks in advance.
