Jack Head Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/20/2005 5:43 pm Hello everyone! Does anyone know of a good coin database. I am thinking about making one in ACCESS to save the money and was wondering if it would be worth the time and effort? If anyone has built a database in ACCESS do you have any pointers or suggestions.Or should I just buy one? If so what are some good ones? Thanks, Jack Report this Post to the Staff

Stujoe Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 08/20/2005 10:10 pm I started to build a databse in Access after I was disappointed with a couple of the software programs I tried. I never finished it though and am still using Excell. Report this Post to the Staff

Jack Head Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/21/2005 12:26 pm Thanks for the info. I thought about using Excel because it is better at calculations however I have not used Excel very much. I have taken a few classes on ACCESS and feel it would be perfect to create a coin database. I am just not sure where to begin. I was hoping someone had started something in ACCESS that I could expand upon. Thanks again for the help. Jack Report this Post to the Staff

Excel offers you the ability to place photos also. Really a cheap and effective way of organizing and maintaining your collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Jack Head Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/24/2005 2:29 pm Thanks again everyone. I have taken some classes on programming ACCESS and I will make an attempt to create a database. If I come up with anything good I will pass it along. It may take a while though! Jack Edited by Jack Head 08/24/2005 4:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
RoadHazard New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/25/2005 4:01 pm There isn't one for YOUR collection. I've written several dozen coin collection db's over the years for people, nothing out of the box tracks what YOU want tracked - just what someone else felt you needed to track. Access works fine, as does any other high-level db language you want to use. Report this Post to the Staff

During the years I swapped coins on the internet, I have seen manny, manny trade lists, and most of them where in Exel made. Greetings, Carl Report this Post to the Staff
