Keatah Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Trying to get organized. Thanks in advance. I just use the built-in notepad and the search function. It is completely customizable and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diogoandrei Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Excel isn't working for you? Excel can help you really a lot! I find it useful if there's need to print also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tz101 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I cannot recommend MS Excel for use as a database. For starters, it is not searchable by fields or categories like a true database. Get MS Access for a true database. I will not waste time manually entering all my video gaming stuff into a program that does not allow me to search for items by predefined categories.

Mirage Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 EDIT: F-it, I don't have time or patience to teach people how to use Excel properly. There are plenty of resources out there for people who want to learn how to use software. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, he doesn't need a database. It's searchable by any fields and categories that you bother to set up, which takes all of a few minutes. If there's some fiddly function that you need & isn't already present, you can add it through VBA. I think MS Access is overkill for listing your atari carts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and not only that, but Excel IS a flat-file database, it's just not a relational database. I put all this and more in my post above before I got frustrated and decided I didn't care who knows how to use their software and who doesn't. Don't know how to use a piece of professional software correctly? OH OK, then just "don't recommend it". That makes total sense. What we're (me and a friend) doing with Excel at work (mostly via VBA) would make most people's heads spin, not realizing that Excel was even capable of it.

NoleOne Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. I guess most people just make their own. I guess I'll just stick with my homemade excel spreadsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. I guess most people just make their own. I guess I'll just stick with my homemade excel spreadsheet. Personally I use Cart Commander (http://www.arcaderestoration.com/) - it's not been updated in ages but does the job just fine for me!
