<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Hi Cassie -- </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Sandy Main Street can definitely sympathize with you regarding Downtown Diva. We purchased that program a number of years ago prior to my arrival, and have had nothing but problems with it since. The developer, Jennifer Rose, appears to be the only support person for the application. Contacting her can be difficult, and when she's out sick or on vacation, you're on your own. Her training sessions are very difficult to follow, and she only does them a limited number of times. The last one we scheduled, she cancelled the session on us the day of the training for reasons unknown. Also, the program doesn't appear to have any sort of internet connectivity, so any updates to the program must be done manually by Jennifer.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">All this being said, I would recommend something a little more modern and robust, and with better support. Unfortunately, we are closing up shop in July so we never bothered to replace it. However, I'm sure that some of the other managers here might have some good suggestions....</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><em><strong> -- David C.
