Re: Re: Iris tracking program

Access is not for beginner or the level above that. Very huge learning curve.
I use Database Oasis. http://databaseoasis.com/ It is very user friendly, I can created a new database in 30 minuets if I use default font.
Here is a link to down load my Templates. http://www.geocities.com/mikeg1310/mydatabase.html
You can try it for 15 days and download my templates.( no charge) They can be changed to suit you if you wish. Trial software at http://databaseoasis.com/ 14.1 M.B. file.
Photos are OLE (Object Linking and Embedding ) other words the photos are actually in a folder on your computer. IE: My Pictures/ My Iris Photos etc. As you can see on my one templates I have 5 photos.
I also Have databases in Medication, passwords, phone book, recipes, movie collection and a iris want list. 
Back all up with one click.

This has been the best money I have ever spent on software.

Scarlett,
  I've coded large applications for government in Access.  I know about
putting photos into Access... and that is one small drawback.   Access
performs remarkably, no, make that exceptionally, in every other area, but
when storing photos, it drags down the speed.   Large number of photos can
also quickly exceed the database limits. I always caution my clients as to 
not storing photos inside Access, unless for short term, interim use.
  I keep my photos simply arranged by name in folders.
  I think it's great that you've developed the database.  I'm curious what
release of Access are you using?

I have created an Access database.? It displays pictures, bloom times,
notes, name, colors, hybridizer, year introduced, garden, garden spot etc.? 
It can display multiple pictures (one at a time), all the bloom times, and
organize the information alphabetically, by Iris type, by hybridizer, year
planted etc.? It also has lots of queries that allows a user to pull out
pieces of information.

My question is "Should I put the program for sale in the AIS Bulleting."?
Would people be interested?? Of course it would require Microsoft Access.
