Software for collection?

VANDOO · 27th December 2005, 06:35 PM

I HAVE SOMETHING CALLED 321 COLLECT THAT DOES ALL THAT PLUS YOU CAN HAVE UP TO 2 PICTURES WITH EACH ITEM, THERE IS A WAY TO ADD MORE PICTURES BUT I HAVEN'T USED IT.I GOT IT ON EBAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I AM SURE THERE ARE SOME NEWER MODEL PROGRAMS LIKE IT TO BE FOUND THERE AT PRESENT. IT DOES MAKE THINGS A LOT EASIER IT INSTALLS FROM A CD TO THE COMPUTER AND YOU CAN COPY YOUR FILES TO FLOPPYS BY CATAGORY AND STORE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN CASE OF COMPUTER TROUBBLES. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO SEARCH UNDER TRY 321 COLLECT AND COLLECTION SOFTWARE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. GOOD LUCK

Hi All, here is one which seems to be what you are asking for http://www.vpackrat.com/ I don't know it but it seems to be able to do a lot of things - and it is cheap.

So many catagories and not a single one for sharp pointy thingies.....

bringing this thread back to life...

any recommendations on software? the vpackrat sounds interesting, but like david said, no category for pointy stuff..

A search on the net found this: http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/help/col_custom.htm at least it might be customisable to arms and armour.

For my own collection I just started to use a MS Access database, but setting that up requires a slightly higher level of computer skills ( which I may not possess

). When its done it should be a very powerful tool though. What it lacks is the image handling abilities - or at least I have not figured out how to make nice displays of images. Currently I'm getting round this by using a link to a Picassa web album - which is free until you have a lot of photos e.g. : https://picasaweb.google.com/ChrisJT...eat=directlink
The link can be one of the fields in the database record. I like this solution because it stores pictures offsite in case of computer loss, basically for insurance purposes - no good having a catalogue of your collection in the same place as the collection if it goes up in flames with it! For good measure I have the database backed up in the cloud.

Hi folks,

Some years ago Bill Marsh and I had a good experience with this software, still available on ebay: http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3622
and I think here: http://www.datavillage.com/WindowsSoftware.htm , http://www.datavillage.com/MilitaryTracker.htm from the original software developer.

Regards,
Emanuel
