Microsoft Access Database

This database helps us to keep track of our contacts, our planning progress for each visit, and gives us easy access to stats about our program. From this we can easily calculate how many girls we have visited so far this year, how many we plan to visit, how often we go on visits, etc. Download the file, open it with Microsoft Access, click "No" when it asks if you want to block unsafe expressions, and then "Open."
