Fast Track Access Database
PLEASE NOTE: This program will soon be replaced with a new app in development. The information you will find below will help you implement Fast Track which is currently a PC Windows only software that uses Microsoft Access to run. We currently are only offering limited support for this software and we will soon be launching a brand new piece of software that will be entirely run on the web as an app. This new OnTrack program will be accessible regardless of device or operating system. Stay tuned for more information.
About Fast Track
The purpose of the RU software is to track your student’s attendance and participation through the RU program.
- Names and addresses of students are entered to provide a database of your students. This can be used to mail letters, postcards, and generate phone lists.
- 300 Club Card information is entered to provide reports on participation, notification of who achieved 300 Club, alerts on attendance awards. Other reports can be generated for Counsel Leaders to monitor their students.
- Manages 2-3-4 contacts. Reports can be generated each week for Counsel Leaders and Helpers so they know the required contacts. Complete student information is on the same report.
- Awards earned are entered to track what awards have been given.
- Pastors Report easily generated for distribution to the National Office. You will find the software eliminates virtually all manual tracking and paperwork systems.
Installing Your Software
To use this software you will need to have Microsoft Access 2007 or 2010 OR *free* Microsoft Access Runtime. If you do not own Microsoft Access, your ministry may qualify to get the entire Microsoft Office suite for $70 under Microsoft’s charitable licensing program – check with our local software reseller for details.

Note: Using the Runtime does have some limitations:

- It cannot delete records.
- It cannot create custom queries or reports.
For basic FastTrack use, the Runtime will work adequately.
