Tool Log - Database
#1
I inherited most of my father's tools a few years back (he was a career mechanic) and I wanted to ensure I had a comprehensive list, primarily for insurance. Initially I used Excel and entered all the tools but then decided I wanted something more usable.

So over the past couple of years I have slowly been working on an Access database, which allows up to 2 photographs to be displayed with each item, as well as several documents (user manual, exploded diagrams etc). It has taken a long time to develop and I have had to get a help from others on an Access forum but it is now running pretty well. I haven't designed any reports yet but there is a really nice search function.

I have decided to make it available (and have done so on another forum) and you can download it HERE. The database is split (into a front end and rear end), meaning that the data is stored separate to the user interface. This has two advantages: first, it facilitates updating of the user interface, without the risk of losing data. Second, in enables the rear end to be located on a network, with multiple user interfaces being able to simultaneously accessing the data. I have written a basic user guide, which I hope will be helpful. It has pictures (I know how you like pictures)!
