[QUOTE="I Palindrome I, post: 52390, member: 2059"]I asked this question a few months ago and ended up creating a simple File Maker Pro database which I use to keep track of my collection. This is the entry screen: [img]http://www.bangeman.us/images/entry.png[/img] The Denomination and Type fields are pull down menus, as is Strike The other layout I have is what I call the inventory or list view: [url=http://www.bangeman.us/images/list.png]Linked so as not to break the forum layout[/url] I use that to quickly scan through my coins to see what I have and do not have The nice thing about FileMaker Pro is that I can easily export my database as HTML. [url=http://www.bangeman.us/images/site.png]Linked so as not to break the forum layout[/url] I keep a copy of the page on my web server so if I'm away from the house and want to check on my inventory, I can. I recently picked up an Audiovox XV6600 Pocket PC with web access, and it was being able to pull up that web page in the coin shop and check what grade a particular coin I had was. If anyone is interested, I'd be glad to provide a copy of the database. However, you need a copy of File Maker Pro to open and edit it, and it's set up for US coins only.[/QUOTE]
