You can use the data in your database in a number of ways.
Export
You can Export a report or a query as a text file or as an Excel spreadsheet file.
Letter Merge
You can use our built-in Letter Merge features, or you can create your own letter merges from data you already exported.
ODBC Connection
ODBC connects you real-time to the raw data. This would be very advanced. You might use this from Access for very customized reports combining data from multiple tables.

If you want to have a copy on every computer, you will find the cost saving substantial over Microsoft. The following sections address using data in Pract-EzeOffice either from a text file or through an ODBC connection: Form Letter, Spreadsheet
