Collector software??????

[schraub]

Hello folks,

as I like to "archive" my helmets, I`m asking myself if there is an good collector software avaiable at the market. It should allow to setup the "datas", an short describtion and some pics of the item. Does any can give and good hind, if such an software exsits???
I already thought about making it with ACCESS and/or EXCEL, but this seems not to be the real deal...

Every opinion/comment is very welcome... Maybe some guys can share their experiences with this matter...

THANKS !

Hi Stephan,

I had the same idea a couple of months ago, I am using File Maker Pro, it is easy to use it displays great, I am just using the basics, the programme is huge and is used in a lot of stores for their inventory.

Access not the real deal? =) Access is very powerful, and you can do everything how YOU want it!

Hello Stephan, this is.....Stephan. I don't have a CD burner on my lap top, and when I try to email whole folders of pictures (say for example my "wire camo helmets" folder with 100 pictures in it) to a computer that can burn them on to a CD it says " " Does anyone know how to e-mail whole folders to another computer so I can create a German helmet CD?

Maybe I'm looking for the same thing..."collector software".

I love Access and have been pondering making some sort of collection tracker with it, but I can't get images to embed correctly. Do you have a quick tip on how to do it?

Hi all,

I`m very sorry for my delayed answer, but I was very busiey the last time...
Thanks for all helpful comments. I have the same problem as Chris adding images to ACCESS, that`s why I stated that ACCESS isn`t the real deal. I also work at my job with ACCESS, but I never need to add images to an databank.

@Stephan:
Hi Stephan I`m sorry, but my skills are not soo good to give you an helping hand with this matter.
@Steven: This programm seems to be an good tool... I send you an PM !
Are there any other opportunities????

Cheers Stephan

hey Stephan, why do you need to Email them? Get a cable, I think the lapop must be able to be cable-connected to a PC. Or don't get a cable, go to a PC centre/PC club, they must have a cable and all needed there.
OR - get one of those USB memory sticks. Put it on the laptop, store the pics, move to the PC... done.
or can you attach a digital camera to the laptop? IMHO it can make the same trick as the USB memory. I think it can be recognized as one more disk drive. Simply put pictures in that memory, in that "drive" and take them to the PC you want - connect the camera to the PC. I think the trick must work with MP3 players, too.

Yea, I've seen those media sticks. Those are cool. You can store a whole PowerPoint presentation on them. The solution was PM'ed to me by another member. Apparently I just have to right-click on the folder I want to mail and select "zip" and mail it that way. (
