Thanks for the suggestion of SugarCRM. I think this may work out great
for him with a couple of modules. :)
Only thing left is to figure out how to print labels/mail merge from it,
but their community may have a solution.
One thing I did notice as well, the SugarCRM website has the latest
version as 3.5.1, and the version ports is only 2.5.1b_1. I've got 3.5.1
running on a test server to demo to this co-worker and it's working
great so far.
Thanks again.
