Hello to all. I'm starting to make my own Cataloging program for all the stuff that i'm d-loading. My question is if i make it would any one be interested in this type of software?? This is what i had in mind: It would have the Name, File Name on disk,The site it was d-loaded from, the creator,e-mail address,short description and maybe small image of the render. For now i've just started so i don't have much but if any one is interested i can post maybe the picture of the interface. ------ the good part it will use Access 97/2000 database to store the info and with little help you can post it on the Web and share as a catalog with other users. The price would be...hmmmm..let say FREE (i do have regural job, i don't like to take money from people for product that i'm making for me) Any comments ?? Interest ??

Yap VB and Access 2000 (and 97 if user has Office97 installed)...if you want i'm still looking for way to display PNG files...if you know how or where ?? I should have the front page done in couple of hours

I am a professional Delphi/VB programmer, and IMHO you'd be better off using Delphi for this, it's much much better than VB for database apps.

Don't know Delphi at all..never try it. I'm using VB for some other VB/Access stuff and VB/SQL7.xx and it works well for what we need at work...we have 50 to 70 people using SQL and Access with VB and is working fine...how much different is Delphi from VB ??

Now that you mention it, I'd like to see each of the FunStuff/FreeStuff sites that serve this community have their own downloadable db like this. Hmmmmm... All in a common format, filled out initally by the artist, something like you described, that I could merge and add my some of my own data/notes. Having a list of most of the stuff at the major sites, whether I've dl'd it or not, would be pretty handy, as well as cutting down on some of my "I might need that someday but will never remember where it was" downloading. Just a thought... you may now resume the real-world discussion. ;-)
