Are you ever worried about keeping your coins listed on an online database where someone could gain access and see everything you own...that might be worth stealing?


Yes. I am planning on a DB that is local to the computer, not an online DB. I am not a fan of cloud-based data, mostly due to the lack of security.

Thanks for all the ideas, they will be useful as I proceed with this project. I will check out the other programs listed.

I use Excel. With so many coins it just doesn't pay to mess with anything else. And with Excel, I can use it almost anywhere. No need for a separate or new program. And too, once I've accumulated thousands of coins, not much need to document stuff like when purchased, how much, present value, etc. Just not enough time or room.

I have been using MS Excel for years. It has been able to do everything I need.

I wrote my own access program for world coins. The main problem is the time it takes to put in all the meta-data - KM #'s, years etc - basically I want it to track what I don't have as well as what I have.

I haven't used Excel since my early Mac days and back when it was created on Apple II computers, that is why I use Filemaker Pro, I was once a FM developer (back around ver. 3-4), so I know it better, today the program is much more powerful, though Excel may be even better to create a variety database, for me Filemaker Pro will have to suffice. If I ever complete a copy o one I will let you all know and share it. Could be a year or so, as it's not a high priority at the moment.
