Poor Man's CRM - Update

Ok - so I'm overdue with updating everyone on the status of this.  The bad news is that I don't have anything concrete for you yet.  There's just not enough hours in a day to get to everything that I want to get to - and unfortunately, work has been taking a priority followed closely by getting the house & yard ready for winter (although I did finally get my house painted). 

Here's where I'm at:  I'm working on getting a download ready - I'm currently editing all of the InfoPath forms, etc. so that they reference companyweb - so that you can actually be up & running in a matter of minutes.  That is the current task - and one that I hope to have done in the very near future.  From there, I've got a few different items on the task list regarding Poor Man's CRM - but I'm pretty sure that my next step is going to be working with Project Server 2003 and tying in its web parts.  In order to do that, I'm probably going to end up moving the current site to my own server, which will have multiple benefits (including being able to allow anonymous access to the site).

So no, I haven't forgotten / abandoned this.  Far from it.  As a matter of fact, I've been talked into presenting on Poor Man's CRM tomorrow night - it's a LiveMeeting simul-cast to the San Diego, Orange County & San Francisco SBS User Groups.  I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to present - but I'll get something put together  :^)

Anyway - my next post on this should be to announce the availability of the download.

I have a poor mans CRM called Quickbooks pro 2004.
I want a Sharepoint webpart that will pull live reports (any report I choose) from QB's and deliver the live reports to selected groups on subsites on my SBS 2k3 server.
I have been told $8k for build and development by 3rd party intuit devs. I could cry. I have maybe $495.62 in my checking account.

Document libraries and shared calanders are all very nice but I need to deliver information as much as I need to centralize and store it. Please tell me someone out there is working on this webpart and will have it up for sale in a week or two for $49.95 plus tax.
Thanks
Love your site
Steven
