<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boydle, post: 1056445, member: 28317&quot;]Hi howboutatrade,</p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to do this without it sounding like a pitch <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. A spreadsheet will handle the records 32,000 per sheet so that should not be a problem to you. Images however are a different problem I deal with large spread sheets and word documents for work all the time and images cause problems a few are OK but if you have 50+ records and you want to put a decent image of front and back with it the spread sheet will start to have problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Flexibility does not have to be compromised with a database as long as the software lets you export your data to a common format you can always ditch it. (the bit trying to not sound like a pitch my software will export to excel, text, html and xml and your images are always accessible in your my documents folder under the folder compasscollectables)</p><p><br /></p><p>Since you seem to already have Excel and it wont cost you anything try it out, just keep in mind you may need to change to something else later on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Scale is always the thing to keep in mind i have over 10,000 high resolution images of my collection they are over 18Gig, I add about 5gig a year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
