SIMS Ver 8 is online

http://www.squadroncommand.com/filemgmt/index.php

Here's some of the new features on the Senior Member side!

Member Master Record – Professional Development Tab
(New) A new table for storing and tracking Officer professional development completion requirements has been added to the SIMS Back End.mdb database.  This new table will be automatically created when SIMS performs the upgrade process.

(New) A new form has been added to the Member Master Record form to display Officer professional development information imported from the CAPWATCH database and allow input of data that is not available in CAPWATCH.

Member Master Record – Officer Progression Tab
(New)
  The new Officer Professional development input form has replaced the subforms on the Professional Development tab on the Member Master Record.  A new tab called Officer Progression has been created to contain the subforms that were previously located on the Professional Development tab.

http://www.squadroncommand.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=125  Probably more than you wanted to know.  :)

Actually, it's not "SIMS ver 8".  The latest release is version "4.3e beta 8".    If one of your duty hats includes cadet program management, once you try SIMS you'll never want to go back to your spreadsheets and post-it notes.

SIMS is awesome- Don't run a cadet squadron without it!!  It is user friendly and easy to use.  I just wish it had an upload function so all that data was stored at NHQ.  What a powerful tool!!

for backup, the foldershare program at foldershare.com works great and you don't have to think about it.  Just share the whole folder with two or three computers, and only edit on one at a time!  Works great if you have a computer somewhere that you can't access during a meeting.

I've been using SIMS now for about 2 years...it is a great tool.  I haven't had the chance to use it for an encampment yet.  Anyone use it that way yet?
