060501 - Denis wants to scan received documents into a common network, so

060505 -     His consultant has indicated they do not need a central server. I
060506 -     suggested Denis give further consideration to using a central
060507 -     server.

Training

0704 - Summary/Objective
0705 -
070501 - I went through Help in Orientation, reviewing both the printed
070502 - material submitted and the on-line screens.
070503 -
070504 - Did not do the Training lessons, because of the personal tutorial I
070505 - gave him.

070513 -
070514 - I entered tasks during his call, and showed him how this can be done
070515 - to keep the record up todate.  Showed how to use the record of the
070516 - new calls, to make follow up schedule tasks for next week.
070517 -
070518 - Created a Contact record for Cordell Knolls with whom Denis is doing
070519 - a project, and received a call.  Posted this new contact to record of

Subject Index

0905 - Summary/Objective
0906 -
090601 - Denis marked some business cards I can use to set up his initial
090602 - contact records.
090603 -
090604 - We discussed setting up his subject index, and did some detail on one
090605 - project.  This needs more analysis to accomodate both the SI and the
090606 - Subjects.  He is using a matrix now.
090607 -
090608 -    He is using a 6 digit code, which embeds some accounting codes, so
090609 -    we use this in the description, rather than the absolute SDS
090610 -    project code.  This needs more analysis.
090611 -
090612 -       Actually we wound up dropping the initial digit which is for the
090613 -       year, so the remaining 5 positions fits okay.
090614 -
090615 -
090616 - The Contact record I installed for Cheda Knolls, returned a bad
090617 - filename when we saved it.  Maybe we are missing a program.
