Functionality is great, but the way things are it seems like you should look at the coding style and structure before you add any more functionality.

We're using vTiger at our company as well and I share some of the same gripes from your previous post. I would also add: 11. javascript email validation is annoying because it mistakenly disallows addresses like .info. The workaround is to leave it blank on the new contact form and update it once it's added using the edit field link. 12. their recurring event scheduling only allows for 1st and last of something so you can't handle "second tuesday of the month" for a recurring event. 13. I don't see how you send non-HTML emails via their system gripes aside, it's hard to argue with free though... vTiger was just a fork of SugarCRM so you might take a look at it if you haven't already. Using the JumpBox is the quickest way I know of to evaluate them side-by-side-> http://www.jumpbox.com/jumpbox-for-the-sugarcrm-crm-system sean Have you looked at SugarCRM at all?
