bartlesvilleok Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Lot of people already use excel. Maybe a good feature for this would be an excel IMPORT instead of the export. That away they would not have to re, enter everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_OldeTowne Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Excellent point. In addition, I keep all my coin data on a USB thumb drive. Can the software follow my thumbdrive around? or must it be installed on each PC that I use? I use a laptop, 2 home desktops, and a work desktop (rarely) to review my coin "stuff". I would not want to buy four licenses, though. But then again, since you are using MS Access as your dbms, I think that would imply four separate licenses.

coinman_23885 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 What is the underlying database program (i.e. MS Access, SQL, etc.)? Can this be used on a Macintosh (i.e. does it NOT use MS Access, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBPros Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Yes, an Import is a good idea. We are working on that right now. The Import has to be written flexibly due to the fact that a lot of people have created "custom" Excel files for storing their collection. Some of our customers have used a similar Coin .xls Template, so those are easier to import. However, the Import function can be complicated if the user's Excel file is not maintained in a clean database format. We can import your data into the program if you like for a nominal fee. Its the poorly maintained Excel files that can take a good deal of time to normalize into a true database format. To answer your question, Coin Catalog Pro utilizes the Microsoft Access 2007 RDBMS database engine. Most users have Access on their PC already, there is a download for a distribution of Access 2007 in the Coin Catalog Pro install package. We are currently working on a Macintosh compatible version as well. Regarding storing the database on your USB stick or thumb drive, I do the same thing myself! : ) Please contact me to discuss license key options for this scenario if you are interested in the software.
