Setting up ACT

[Lauriej]

I am setting up ACT for my travel agency and before I put any data in I
want to have it set to include all of the fields I need.
There are 2 things that I am trying to figure out where best to put
them.
1. I want to be able to include the family members of each contact and
their ages so that later when I want to send a promotion for a family
with kids I can sort the data to inlcude only those with kids say under
age 10 or adult only families.

2. I want to be able to track where the family traveled cruise, Disney
ect... Then I want to be able to pull information for all families that
have travelled to a destination to be able to send them discounts for
that in the future.

Would it be best to set up a new field on the contact page or should
this be done in groups. I have never worked with ACT so I want to try
to set it up to best serve my business right from the start.

ACT is not even a Microsoft product, it is a contact manager, similar (but
with fewer features) than Microsoft Outlook. This newsgroup is dedicated to
the Microsoft Access database product. Your question may be better answered
in a UseNet newsgroup appropriate to your problem.
