Reloading Database

Will this one pull from an existing excel spreadsheet if I map the fields?

It should, but I haven't tried it. Excel and Access work well together.

I went with Google Drive. Cloud storage is where it's at. You can still keep a local copy if you want but the odds of losing your data when it is striped across a massive data center is extremely minimal. Technologies can change and your data remains...

You might think about adding a place for the brass head stamp

I've added support for brass mfg now. The new installer can be accessed with the original link.

The only downside to uninstalling and re-installing is if you've entered any records into the DB, they'll be deleted.

I'll have to come up with a way to export/import the records if I keep making changes to the DB, so records aren't lost.

Thanks, I give it a try,

update: Seems to work fine

Unless I am wrong, that is one place, you simply access it from multiple places. I don't trust online storage. I don't have it at all that way, someone else does.

No - when using the client DropBox syncs to multiple computers. So it's stored on their servers, but also locally on your computer (actually on each computer that you link to the account).

This works out well as you can keep it on multiple computers, but you're also protected via a cloud based copy in the event of something like a fire where even multiple physical copies may be destroyed.

Google Drive can also be setup the same way (though for a long time it didn't have the client available). Space on Drive is also dirt cheap. I think I pay $1.99 per month for 100GB (you get 15GB for free).

Well then I stand corrected, but I still want it on multiple drives in my possession.
