I hope someone here can help me.
We are currently looking at redeveloping the membership database for out
church. It is mainly usd to hold details of our members, produce reports
etc.
I am investigating both mysql and MS Access. Ultimately I would like the
front end to be browser based, both for querying and entering data.
Are there basic membership databases that can be downloaded from the web
from which to base this project?
Which platform (Access/Myqsl) would be the better bet and why?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try doing a search on http://sourceforge.net/ for "church". There are
quite a number of projects you might find interesting.
For membership management and a lot more using PHP and MySql, check this
one out: http://www.infocentral.org/

TS,
In my humble opinion, either db would be satisfactory. I use both from time
to time. If you are creating a desktop application, which I suspect, then
I'd lean towards Access. the database can be split into a front end back
end, allowing multiple users to view the same backend data.

I guess I didn't read ALL of your question. You state that you want this to
be browser based. With that being the case, what kind of server will you be
using, NT or Linux? Will you be using ASP, PHP?

PHP and mySQL would probably be the way to go. There is a lot of support at
php.net. Check out their on-line documentation at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/index.php. Here's a list of the mySQL functions
built into PHP http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.msql.php. If you're really
hot on MS Access, check out thier odbc functions at http://ca3.php.net/odbc.
If you find and download the mySQL odbc driver, you can set up an odbc
connection to the mySQL db, then use MS Access to create the queries for
your PHP code. Be warned though, there are some things that MS Access can do
in queries that mySQL can't, but overall, mySQL is very robust.
Enjoy!

I need some advice. I hpoe some of you can advise me.
Our church's weekly bulletin has been published on paper for years. It is
created in MS Word and sent to the publishing company. Now I need to publish
the same information on our new web site. But I don't want to put an image
of the paper bulletin on the web site. I want it to look natural there, as
if it were produced with god web design principles.

First, I work with a small church (about 100 people). We need a
database to handle basic information like name, address, family
members, joined church birthdate and etc.
We really don't need to use something elaborate. I've already
suggested a free solution but they'd rather get a low cost commercial
solution. Mind you, the app has to be easy for non computer saavvy
users.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of a service that would allow my Pastor to send an email that is automatically posted on the news section of the church website? I know blogging sites allow bloggers to send emails that are automatically posted, but I want to implement it into the actual church webpage. Anyone have any ideas or heard of something that would allow this?
Thanks!
