My fountain pen inventory database is ready to download. There is a version for both Mac and PC users. The database maintains a lot of useful information about your fountain pen collection, including basic descriptive info, prices paid, repairs made and unlimited photographs. It also makes it very easy to post reviews to FPN. This database isn't associated with FPN, but I did add a couple of features that plays nicely with FPN.

As I mentioned, there's a Mac and a PC version. I ran into some font issues on the PC and had to make a a couple of small changes to the PC version in order to get it posted without delay. There isn't a large difference, but the Mac version looks a little nicer.

When you download it and unzip it, you will see a file and a folder named Fountain Pen Inventory. The file is an alias to the main program file in the folder. I don't usually distribute my solutions as standalone runtime databases. I've tested it as carefully as I could, but let me know if you have any issues. Even better, let me know if you like it, too. There is no charge for Fountain Pen Inventory. It's my gift to the FPN fountain pen community. You can redistribute it to someone else, but are not allowed to charge for it, modify it or present it as your own work.

Enough of the intro, you can download it at: http://www.jonro.com/downloads/

Regards,

Jon

I downloaded it. Thanks!

I've always liked FileMakerPro. I keep meaning to get a copy and start using it. I just haven't had much need for a database.

Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just imported my existing database from Excel, and this is a much more intuitive way of keeping the info up to date.

Do I need a copy of filemaker pro to use this database?
Thanks

Nope. It's a standalone application created with the developer's version of FMP.

Hey this was really a nice gesture, thank you. I did not realize I had so many pens.

Wow, do I need this for my ink inventory. I own lots more ink than pens. Well, maybe not lots...
