I could maybe send you the structures and other components if you'd

liketo
try it.


Matt,

I'm not sure if FMP will import MS-Access files, especially since I'm on a
Mac and I don't have MS-Access. If it will, I'd like to see it.

When I get back I'll have Chris show me how to delete the records and
whatever else is needed.

Give me a few days.

Hi Chris.

I'd like a copy of the database, as well.

Thank,
Bob

This is Chris, Matt's son "speaking".

You can do a direct importation from Excel into Access, but you'll want
to
normalize the tables to create a true database. Depending on how your
laid
out the Excel collumns/cells, this might be easy or hard.

First, do a report form and lay out your form fields to match the logbook
form. From there, link in a query to fill the pages. You can add total
fields at the bottom for the point in time (running totals) or grand
totals.

See if that works. The database schema I laid out for the logbook program
has a lot more information than the typical spreadsheets. I did the
program
originally in 1996 (It was a school project) or so when Dad had about 500
hours. I've added a lot of enhancements since then. He's been keeping it
religiously since then and the data since is much more complete and
accurate.

It might well be overkill for what your want.

Best,

Chris Barrow


Chris,

I like to see the database. Could you send to blueskies at ameritech dot
net?

TIA!

Dan

Does anyone here use Filemaker Pro for keeping their logbook? I've just
finished creating one in version 6 because Excel seems to be getting
unwieldy as my time grows.

Since I'm a newbie at FMP, I wouldn't mind letting someone more experienced
with the program take a look and give me some feedback.


It's not FM, but have you had a look at LogTenPro/Express? It looks
pretty good and is native for OS X.

Thanks but I've actually got my FM version pretty well in hand and I'm
trying to expand on it as much as I can. Creating the logbook has given me a
good excuse to learn a new program, and I've even found a few errors in my
paper logbook with it.
