What do you use? I've put together an Excel spreadsheet, but I'm not 100% happy with it. I've been working on an Access database, but I'm getting frustrated trying to figure out how to list all the different print runs of the early books, so I'm wondering what other people use?

I started with an Access database too, now I use my website :) (Home Page - D&D Collection)

I know it's missing the different prints for most of modules, I'm still working on adding them.

Keep a long list in Word.  I'll carry a printed copy with me when I know I'm going hunting.  I have some notes on my phone for 2nd edition handbooks (splat books).  And with the Gen Con Wisconsin site, I can access my inventory as long as I have access to the web.

I'm working on re-working my Excel spreadsheet. I can keep a copy on my phone and access it with open source software if I'm out and about.
Once I get the spreadsheet re-done, I'm probably going to port it to Access.

On a side note, I found a program called Data Crow (Data Crow - Cataloger) that looks pretty good for cataloging just about anything. Has entries for DVDs, books, software, music, etc. I've only just started using so I don't know much about it yet, but I'll report back once I've learned it better.

Is there an upload feature from xls?

Yes! It does a phenomenal job of importing .CSV (comma separated values) files.
Part of the reason I'm revamping my entire Excel spreadsheet is so I can import it to Data Crow and see what I can do with it.

If any of you is using Skype, I started to work on a little bot for Skype.

you should be able to use it with this link : join.skype.com/bot/3f587f3f-aa18-4a41-9 ... 9240c56878

you can "talk" with it by typing "info" followed by a module title or stock number or code.
example: info A1

It is a first try, I just spent a few hours on it, tell me what you think about it.
