CntrlScrutinizr CntrlScrutinizr Collector Registered: 09/08/11 Posts: 73	I apologize if this topic has been breached before, but I am wondering what everyone uses to document their collection. Any particular software? I tried Comic Collector about 10 years ago and found it unwieldy. I currently keep a spreadsheet in Excel, and I am currently working on an Access form to use the spreadsheet database.

I use a program called 'BOOXTER' very friendly, easy to use and I can export it to several formats if I need to. I dig it. It's for the Mac only - which is probably why it's awesome. http://www.deepprose.com/ _________________________ Check out my work at: http://www.jasonbeam.com - - - - - Check out my CAF page

Seems like, as long as you've got a database, you can always mess around with how you get/set the data that's in it. _________________________ 2012 Goals: Daredevil #1 8.5 CGC or Raw ~~Daredevil #293 CGC 9.8~~ Found!

Every collection,from the most valuable Golden age,to the readiest of reading copy Moderns,is assembled with care and thought,and is worthy of respect because of it,if for no other reason.RMA I'm not a dealer, but as far as I can see.... none of my keys are softening... they're as firm as ever.- jimjum12

thehumantorch thehumantorch TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 03/23/05 Posts: 19263 Loc: Alberta Canada	I created a simple database in openoffice. Works well but all I'm really looking for is something to enter in comics I buy and print out the infomation for shows. _________________________ My Feedback My CAF THIS JUST IN

Works well but all I'm really looking for is something to enter in comics I buy and print out the infomation for shows. Just updating in this thread. I am a mac-user, and was looking for something I could access on my iPhone if I were out and needed to see if I had a comic in my collection, etc. Booxter and Collectorz both did not work for me (Booxter's app didn't work and Collectorz wouldn't import data) so I opted for a spreadsheet. After importing my information, I store my file on Dropbox, and I can access it at work, home or on my iPhone. Works amazingly well. I wish it had the functionality of Booxter or Collectorz, but I can live with it. BTW, I despise Microsoft products, I installed iWork's Numbers, and it is way friendlier than Excel. _________________________ Check out my work at: http://www.jasonbeam.com - - - - - Check out my CAF page
