http://goccf.com/t/265660Posted the above topic eight years ago. Wondering if there have been any good updates/releases of collecting software/categorization besides Excell that exist?

I have been very satisfied using an Excel spreadsheet.

What sort of things do you track with Excel? More curious than anything.

My original sheets have: Year, Mint, Variety (when necessary), Value, Date (found or purchased), Paid, Grade, Notes (where bought or found, known provenance, etc.) When I started collecting graded Ikes I altered the columns for that sheet: Year, Mint, Variety, Value, Purchased (date), Paid, Grade, TPG (PCGS, NGC, etc), Registration (number on slab), Seller (where I bought). |

Love it! Once you have some VB skills, it becomes your go-to hammer in search of proverbial nails. Looks like a really robust tool, I can appreciate how long it took to code and evolve it.

One day I'll get around to porting it over to C-Sharp - then maybe make it available to others. Access is bloatware and just not all that scalable.

DOCC,
That's exactly what I planned on doing. I'm a VBA hobbyist but I keep dragging my feet. It's a deep rabbit hole thing for me. One of my former hobbies was tabletop sports games. I once spent 10 years working on an automated scoresheet generator with real life lineups, that turned into a stat compiler, etc. I also entered charts from various games and made a dice roller and it would give me the results of each play. It had all sorts of reports too. I only stopped developing it when Microsoft killed their calendar control and that was that.
