Dick, I'm not sure what would be involved, but I'd be interested in exchanging knowledge. I did use the Clooz 1.23 for a while and I know I didn't use it to its full capacity. Although I have been collecting a ton of documents from internet databases over the past two years, I have only entered a fraction of things to my genealogy database and nothing to Clooz2. So I would gladly participate in any discussion. What's next?

I know for one it would provide a benefit to me, and then we could see if we want to do this further, with mroe advanced topics as well - but I thin that being able to see how others use it, work with it and such - would definitely be benefical. My suggestion is about an hour no longer, on the internet in a common evironment - and being able to see others as they use the clooz program. This would be that we would have a host, one or more persenters based on how they use the program. Thougths? Ideas? suggestions? ----- Original Message ---- From: Bob <List@rheinlander.org> To: Clooz-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 1:01:26 PM Subject: Re: [Clooz] Using Clooz as a stand alone with FTM I also use Clooz as a stand alone document management companion to FTM for about the same time periods as Cheryl and basically in the same manner. I reference the Clooz Document ID in FTM and can easily find the document for reference in the file cabinet when necessary.
