I have the structure mostly fleshed out but still need to see what else i will be adding for field and where i want them.
Don't even get me started about how much i hate MS Excel - i developed a number of extremely complex spreadsheets on Quattro Pro (wastewater treatment plant operations and reporting systems), but it's not availble for OS X. Before o go much further im gonna suck what i have (about 75 products) into Open Office and see if that is more usable. Some of the issues with how Excel works (well, more like doesn't work) drives me insane.
Anyway, when im done i will have a very nice spreadsheet based database that i can keep track of what i like, dislike, cost's, links to web content, re-wraps, etc. When i get back to work i will likely get "The Bible" as well and add stuff i find usefull from that to it.
This is what happens when you turn an OCD geek loose with a new hobby.... I dunno though, seems like a good idea to be able to track what i like best and how to get it at the lowest cost. Besides, with links to web content i can also see what My Love likes best and cater to her as well. She deserves it for taking care of me so well, and besides, what guy doesn't like to make is lady say "OOOOoowwww"?

There's a free version available for download. The updated verson with many other features, like an "Effects" version, is only 12.95. You could save that by avoiding your next FW oops.  "PH"
