RE: Bloom Season Almost Over

Jean,
 
I investigated the Access database question about 16 month ago. At that time I was not able to find what I wanted as a commercial garden. I purchased something close and I have been modifying it to fit my needs better. I am about midway in converting my Word Perfect tables into Access databases. There are about 2000 cultivars in the current database. I plan of having all of my information in Access in time to prepare all of the needed  documents for the 2005 business year. By then, the Access databases would contain between 3000 and 4000 cultivars.
 
It is not very difficult to convert your Excel worksheet into an Access database. I haven't mastered the technique but my son did mine for me in a short time. If  you want more information, please reply privately.

Subject: [iris-photos] Bloom Season Almost Over

The bloom season is almost over here in northern Nebraska, but we’ve had a wonderful

year in spite of horrendous weather!  Was in Lincoln last weekend and saw 6 beautiful gardens.  One

was decimated by the storm that night, but not before we had toured it.  Each year I am learning more

and more about iris and especially enjoy meeting others who are devotees.  Iris photos has been a wonderful

resource as has the AIS online checklist.  I currently have my irises listed in an Excel workbook, but notice

that many have a database.  If anyone can tell me where I might obtain one for Access, I’d appreciate the information.
