Here is some great info on eTapestry from our development coordintator:


The Martha's Vineyard Museum installed the on-line database eTapestry 
about six years ago.  The benefit of being on-line is that updates and 
upgrades are automatic and no new software is required. Secondly, your 
database is safe.  No crisis if a computer has a meltdown.   The support 
is phenomenal, including a chat-room style IM support service for 
immediate needs.  Your database can be imported into eTapestry and the 
consumer defines the fields in most cases, making the system completely 
user-friendly.  The query function allows the consumer to create lists 
and groups, e.g. journal entries in a day, or members, or members who 
are donors at a specific level, etc.  The consumer 'writes' these 
queries based on the defined fields and then can run reports with the 
results.  Reports can be exported as merge files, .pdf files or emails.  
The system includes various modules, but these are offered a la carte, 
such as mass email function.  The basic service accommodates about 4,000 
accounts, and additional space can be purchased.  There is a lot more to 
the system and I highly recommend it.
If anyone wants to chat about eTapestry, please feel free to contact
