what our solution needs most of all is an email reminder system, i.e.,
a system that allows the user to specify when he/she is to be reminded
(via email) that a certain task (follow-up call, meeting, whatever)
needs to happen.
Try an FMP plug-in such as Events Plug-in
<
http://wmotion.com/events.html>. I imagine that this'll carry less
overhead than searching FMP every <time period> for an event. I haven't
used this plug-in but I hope it allows you to run scripts at a certain
time based on the values in date / time fields. If this is true, you
can then use an AppleScript from within FMP to send an email via "do
shell script".
Having re-read your post, why don't you take a look at Lasso or a
similar product? Lasso runs with MySQL as a back end and has an events
database. It'll send emails too so one way or another you've got your
bases covered.
