GA Russell Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) I got my Atari 1040 ST in 1987, and one of the first things I did was start a database of my record collection. I've been using it ever since. I no longer use the Atari for anything else, and I would like to start a new database using WinOS. Can anyone recommend something appropriate? Free is good. I saw something at tucows the other day that might work, but I thought I would ask here first. PS - I should add that I want the ability to make a few notes of my own, such as date purchased, date opened, vendor, and years played.

Stonewall15 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I use a Microsoft excel spread-sheet. You can have as many data fields that you want. Easy to learn and easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 OK, I already have MS Office 2003, and I've never really learned how to use it. So I have gone to Amazon, and I think I will order this book for beginners. It's a college textbook. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2003-Introductory-Techniques/dp/0619255587/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IBTJQKNZDJQTQ&colid=RVSBV717YT9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've been using this for years and never had a problem. It IS $40 though CATraxx Head Man, that looks great!

John L Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 1 gig memory? That doesn't even qualify as a computer any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 1 gig memory? That doesn't even qualify as a computer any more! Tell me about it! Well, maybe I'll get an upgrade sometime in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall15 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I learned excel using the "Excel 2007 For Dummies" book. I am sure a similar one exists for 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS $40 though CATraxx I've been using this for years and never had a problem. It IS $40 though CATraxx ditto Now that I have a new refurb with 2 gig of memory, I am looking at Catraxx. How does it work? Do you have to type everything in, or does it read most of the information off the disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
