perfect for those of us who like to keep an inventory of our glass stash and print labels for rods!

its free and its really quite good. If you dont have microsoft access, a free version of microsoft access runtime 2010 is available to download

I have created a database in HanDBase which is an ipone app.

Ah, it's winzipped. I downloaded that for something else a while back, it's since expired and now I can't open this file (it won't let me downlaod again). Anyone know how to get around this, I'm not very good with 'puter probs.

There's also http://www.7-zip.org/ which is free.

Thanks. I presumed if it was zipped with winzip it'd need winzip to open it? If not I can download this one for next time.

we use winrar and it opens winzip files (most of these lovely free programmes do.)

Now why did I know you'd ask that

It's an Access DB so we might be able to but I haven't looked yet

i dont have the full Access DB, only the runtime so i'm unsure. did i post the link to the LE thread i found it on? ah yeah (had to scroll down n check) might tell u on there. U can however add colours, attributes, pics, new makes of glass, new coe's etc within tht version.

because it's fun, Fun, FUN!! (And I might learn something)

I just down loaded it and I didn't recognise it as a .mdb file. I shall have more of a look at it at home once I have got the internet connection on the home PC sorted. If it's not sorted by Thursday the man from Parc is coming to mine to fix it and then he can see the lovely glass that's taken me away from his beloved computer games

Downloaded and entered all my glass well nearly all, need some way of putting the colour of the glass in. As sometimes the names are not really descriptive of the colour.
