<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 3145854, member: 71642&quot;]I just went through a big search on what kind of database or spreadsheet I wanted to use.&nbsp; Having a MacBook narrowed the choices, and being a primarily world coin collector as well.&nbsp; I fiddled around with some spreadsheets like Excel, Numbers, Google sheets, Open Office...but preferred a more database-like approach.</p><p><br /></p><p>My top contenders:</p><p><br /></p><p>Re-Collector <a href="http://www.collectingcatalog.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectingcatalog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectingcatalog.com/</a>&nbsp; Flexible, user friendly.&nbsp; Has a demo so you can try it out.&nbsp; Started by a map collector and not coin specific.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tap Forms&nbsp; <a href="https://www.tapforms.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.tapforms.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tapforms.com/</a>&nbsp; All of what I said about Re-Collector, but I liked it better.&nbsp; Has a nice way to make labels (or 2x2 inserts as the case may be).&nbsp; Very well supported.&nbsp; A consumer level database and you can use it in a spreadsheet view without too much trouble.</p><p><br /></p><p>Exact Change <a href="http://www.exactchange.info/Series_page.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.exactchange.info/Series_page.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.exactchange.info/Series_page.htm</a>&nbsp; which is what I probably would have gotten if not entranced by using a program for more than just coins.&nbsp; Has integration with Krause (if you have e-copies) and is super collector oriented.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty sure Tap Forms can generate bar codes.&nbsp; But, Tap Forms is Mac only.&nbsp; Has an app too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went with Tap Forms and now use it for a few different things and have other thoughts in mind...like home inventory, books, etc.&nbsp; I even set it up to follow by dates some auctions (with links, interesting lots, reminders).</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
