<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3205038, member: 89393&quot;]All well and good, but my main reason for even caring about a database is for a complete record of my collection of songs to chart on the Billboard hot 100. Although the collection is almost complete, it has been decades since I have added any new recordings to the data files... note, that&#039;s files, not file. FileMaker Pro is relational, so the files interact in a number of ways to produce a myriad of reports in any number of layouts; and, despite a goal for the collection that was nearly reached more than a decade ago, a new record is merely added whenever then becomes part of the whole. That can&#039;t be done with mere pencil and paper, but speaking of paper, my collection printed out by artist then song title along with a line of chart data is over 300 pages of double-sided 12 point text. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin collecting databases were an afterthought that was abandoned in preference of Excel spreadsheets, one for each type of coin. Not as pretty or efficient but a lot easier to handle. Long time no see, [USER=71723]@V. Kurt Bellman[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
