Lord Ferguson Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 As per the topic title really... I'd like to record my brochure collection in a database at some point.. and perhaps my model collection. Anyone know of an easily customisable freeware (or cheapish) program I can use please What I am really trying to achieve is a way to sort my brochures by various criteria... such as year, country of origin, value etc. Any help/sensible suggestions most welcome.

Udimore Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Any Database program is easy enough to use..even for you I use Microsoft access ...but there are a lot better..try Dan Goodhead ..think he is still a mod on here \ He had some software he was working on a few years back and from what I saw it was pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Mark, I just use Microsoft Excel and use filters and pivot tables for the other criteria. Although given what I know now about Excel and Access I probablt would have done it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 can ask sue to do me a write up and will post it up, something to do with hyperlinks and that sort of thing,it also works different ways between each version of excel, my 2007 versions different to her 2005 works one one thing i do know is, its pretty much like posting a web page link, but instead you post a link to a folder with the pic you want , i use a disc so its all backed up, but same principle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Excel, they are under the Insert menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
