Thread: Keeping records of what you have...

Open Office sounds good, any links? a search turned up alot of stuff and I don't know enough about the program to pic the right one.

Here is a download link. It's free, and you get most of the same programs that Windows Office offers. You will get programs for text, presentation, database, spreadsheet, drawing and formula. If you have some computer savvy it's all pretty self explanatory. Download the Open Office Org. 3.2.0. I hope this helps.

Thanks Dylan. Yep, I built a database for storing my razor pics and info. I built it early on in my RAD with what I knew at the time. If I were to do it again I would probably change some of it but it meets my needs. It meets my needs though. I used MSAccess as the database. Access has some limitations like a 2 gig size limit. In total it is currently actually 5 databases combined into one app. One database for the text data and code, 4 databases for pictures.

Very impressive! I'm envious of you guys that can take an idea for a computer application and then make it happen. Great job.

Long download ack... Oh well

Have to see what I can do with it Thanks for the link and info

Here is a question for our SRP Developers.

We already have a razor database here at SRP, complete with pictures.

We already have a way to add friends to our profiles.

I wonder if it would be possible to add razors from the razor database to our profiles, kind of like adding friends, and then be able to add some notes.

I don't know if this would be possible or even valuable to anybody. Maybe this is something nobody would use. Just curious.

Very cool idea, David!

As a added tweak, what about the ability to upload our razors to our profile so they can get identified if we're having trouble? The bonus: New razors not in the DB might be discovered and added later, but instead of trusting anyone with adding to the DB, it'll be a "peer reviewed" submission.

Check out What You Own Home Inventory, it's free and the only I could find with a review by a respectable site, CNET.

Hope that helps!

That's a really good idea and would help with the insurance company should you ever lose the clooection in a fire or flood.
