The next version of Church Secretary is now available. This version has many changes and new features and is the first where I am including integrated backup and restore features. A new Explorer Bar offers another way to navigate between the screens and reports in the program in addition to the conventional drop down menus. I have made some changes to the database format in the next release, so unfortunately anyone who is using an earlier version will not be able to just immediately begin using their "old" data files. However, I will offer free data conversion services for the first month or two after version 7.0 is released and will help any registered user of version 6.0, 5.0 or 4.1 to convert their existing data to the new format.
Download a fully functional 30 day version and try before you buy.
The price of the program is now $129 per church, but I still believe this program will continue to be a real value to churches of all sizes. Registered users of any earlier version will receive a free upgrade to version 7.0 for the asking, but a new password will be required. Contact me for more information if you have any questions.
Version 7.0 includes a wide variety of themes or styles to let you change the look of the program and a theme editor will be included to let you change the background images and colors if you prefer. Some samples are shown below.
The Query Wizard has also changed in version 7.0 and includes a new Quick Filter button to make it easier to quickly filter the data displayed on a browse screen when you only want to search a single field.
There are many new changes in the next version and I am working hard to make sure it is the best version ever.
