Information about “MINISTER’S SERMON INDEXER”
MINISTER'S SERMON INDEXER is a simple database designed with the
pastor in mind. Keep track of previous sermons as well as the date and
location they were given. Store the title, subject, and scriptural
references. A field is provided for a five-digit reference number, so
you can refer to the text file where the actual sermon is stored.
The MINISTER'S SERMON INDEXER does not do anything that cannot be done
with most available databases; however, it does have an excellent user
interface. Also featured are pull-down menus accessed by your cursor
control keys. The documentation is very good, although the program is
so easy to use it is hardly needed.
