My plan is to use my spot editing tool for the major text areas (it's a database with several fields that may or may not be used depending on the situation.) Then for any obvious database features like event lists or personnel, I'll create a separate db for those. The more I think about it, the easier it sounds, but surely I'm doomed for (yet another) underbid scenario. Any remarks or experiences welcome.
