Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that will work for me. I tried playing around with various ways of doing this, including your suggestion. The problem is that if there are various different subs only one can log in to check future gig info. I'd have to activate and de-activate constantly and anyone who is currently de-activated could not log in. I don't want to have to double the price by going up to the next level of users just for the odd occasion when we need 1-2 subs. I looked at the idea of a guest user, but then the email address would be wrong. Since scheduling is the biggest issue driving me towards Bandhelper from just Set List Maker I think I shall to just go back to my old way of working. It's a shame, as BH has lots of potential, but it's just not what I need right now.
If there are features being considered the other major issue for me is customer bookings. I have a constant stream of emails to customers to set up a booking. I have them complete an electronic form. I'd like to be able to have this integrated on the web with all the other band stuff. I also need to send a reminder when the next payment is due. All that would integrate nicely with the finance module. But there would need to be a separate customer login where they could only see their bookings. I do all of this on separate web sites at the moment. I use Joomla for my own web development and searched all over for a simple event booking system, but there is nothing oriented towards bands.
Thanks.
