Fountain Pen Database Available for Download

[Cyber6]

I had the same problem many of the others using Lion did. It's easily amended by shifting your regional settings to the United States.

I am new to this site and collecting. At forty years old with grown up kids I now am allowed to collect nice things that won't automatically get broken. LOL. Thank god. I really do appreciate your efforts and thank you for the ability to educate myself before I start investing. This started for me with a box full of old fountain pens I found at my grandmas's house. Still have them, and cannot wait to learn more about them. RebeccaLynn

Hello

I have downloaded the main file and I am afraid I cannot use it. Can you tell me in a step by step fashion how to use your database? I am not familiar with Excel, by the way. Thanks

[2brothers]

A really nice tool for keeping collections. I indeed needed such a tool!

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to program it and offering free to FPN members.

Hi -- Upon recently joining the FPN, I am feeling motivated to better organize my 45-year-old pen collection of 75+ pens. Besides purchasing a couple of nice rosewood display cases, I want to create a detailed database of my collection. After debating whether to use an ordinary spreadsheet, or create a true database from scratch using Filemaker or Access, I discovered your download on the FPN website. It's perfect, and will definitely save me from having to reinvent the wheel. I've already started using it. Thank you!

 

Best regards,

I only have about 12 pens right now since I am fairly new but downloaded this and am impressed. This will help me a lot in the future.

I'm sure this sounds dumb to you veterans but what is a pen data base for

[Wordbanger]

Hi Gunga Galunga,

 

I can't speak for anyone else, especially the author of the downloadable and very useful FileMaker pen database application. However, in my case, I want a database to provide me with an inventory of my numerous pens, which represent a rather substantial investment that I've accumulated over the years. I want to know information such as each pen's brand, model, color, nib size, origin, price paid, approximate value, rating, notes, etc. If I had fewer pens, I could likely keep track without an inventory.

 

Others might be dealers, or have far larger collections than I do, making a database even more important for them.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Regards,

WordBanger

A special thank you for the nice way you set up EXPORT - something frequently over looked by database designers

[Barzi]

WOW!

Just downloaded it.

Will slowly start feeding info.

I can't get it to download; it fails anwhere from 3 to 16Mb in. No error message, it just stops randomly. I've tried about ten times -- is there a hosting issue?

Registered just to let you know.
