True reinventing the wheel is often a frustrating task, but in this
particular case, was well worth it
. I have precisely what I want.

Hello Marianna!
yes I know Access but I didn`t want to reinvent the wheel, but I think I
will do my own database!
Thanks

| Do you mean a database?

I

as
| well as another area of cultural requirments for other orchid species
which

and
| various entries such as where and when the purchase was made, the cost,
| re-potting records, media information, and a whole bunch of other
| information that I may or may not need . I can sort it by pretty much
any
| record, I can generate name tags through a simple linked mail merge. I
can
| print a report of when and how I fertilized the orchids last, how much I
| spent on them by week, month, or year etc.....I created this database
out
of
| frustration when i was not able to find the software and the flexibility
| that I was searching for.

| If you know Access, create your own!
