darquewanderer Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Right now I've got my inventories in M$ Works 2003 .wdb. Been trying to convert to OpenSource .odb for a while, but so far no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was trying to work with a couple of companies to develop this for us modelers. So far, it's a no go But, I did find Delicious Library for the Mac, which will let me scan in the bar codes, and it does find most of the kits, through a Google/Amazon search. it's not perfect, but it is the only one so far that does what I want it to, somewhat. For those unfortunate few who still use a PC, can't help you there. I have worked on the MySQL behind IntelliScanner's software, but that's a story for another day.

Aaronw Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Sounds like it would be a good smart phone app. That way you would always have it handy at the hobby shop, vender table etc. I made an Excel spread sheet for my paints after I found myself with 15 bottles of flat black. A little duplication isn't bad, but paint isn't cheap and I thought that was a bit excessive. It works fine shopping on line, but I don't have it when shopping at a hobby shop.

That is a great idea to be able to check your stock on a smart phone. I know what you mean when it comes to multiples of paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveparker Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Filemaker would be cool too, you could include a photo with each record an also host the db on the web quite easily if desired. Not free, but easy to create cool databases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
