I think the complicated part is entering all the manufacturer names, storage locations etc, as these are looked up and added to each record. My suggestion is to populate these tables first. Once done it is much easier and more streamlined to enter the tools and equipment.
Have you added any pictures or files yet? Sizing the pics can be a little tricky but there are free programmes out there to do that.
What about the search filter?
Was the manual easy enough to follow and understand or does it need more work? Of course, it makes perfect sense to me but I know it may not for others!
Darren,
The not so obvious part is when you add a manufacturer, for example, by double clicking in the field there is no "Save" button. I still don't know how it saves a new entry but I did add some new manufacturers to the list successfully but they wouldn't show up in the list until I closed the database and then opened it again.
I did add some pictures. That's the easy part once you read the manual. I use GIMP to resize my pictures.
I have not used the search function yet.
I think a more detailed explanation of adding new data to the lists would help a lot. It doesn't need to be long and drawn out. Just a play by play of adding an item to a list including all of the mouse clicks and key presses would be more than adequate.
Thanks for making this available. I can see a lot of work went in to creating the database.
