Maintenance Software

Do any of you know of any good maintenance software for keeping track of all the maintenance on multiple vehicles? Now that both kids are driving half the time I can't remember capacities anymore with 4 vehicles being driven regularly. I'd preferr shareware but am willing to pay a little as it is just for logging purposes. I have an old computer in my garagew that I use to look things up when I am working on something that I have never done before so anything that will run on XP would be great.

If you have XP you should also have MS Works. Open it and use the vehicle maintainance logs.

I don't think its part of XP Home edition is it? If that does it I'd be happy to use it.

I found it on my Win 7 machine. Still trying to figure out how to use it though it seems to be more forms than a data base. I'll post a link to one I found but its 29 dollars and still way ,ore than I really wanted.

If you don`t have Works on your version of XP, pretty sure you can download it free from the MS website.

I would just use Excel, but I already have it and it is not cheap.

I have office 2010 on my indoor computer but I'm going to be honest I know nothing of using Excel. Never was necessary for my job or what I do so I have never learned how to use it.

I use this one for all of that:

Sorry that it is on another site but I can not attache on this site.

Just use a free spread sheet program such as "OpenOffice.org Writer".

All free.

Perfect Subford a little on the simplistic side but almost exactly what I needed. Going to look for my old copy of Office 2k3 and put it on the Garage computer. Thank You.
