Re: “I just put entered my 500th book, magazine or miscellaneous piece of media.”
I've now entered 1,002 pieces of media into the database. The most common genres at this point are SF (561), Fantasy (139) and Suspense/Horror (47).

I won't continue doing data entry at this rate. It's been full time work - and long hours! But I did want to get enough books into the system to gain confidence in the database's robustness as well as to give me plenty to work with when I continue enhancing the application.

I just bought two more "For Dummies" books on Access: "Access 2007 Forms & Reports FOR DUMMIES" and "Access 2007 All-In-One Desk Reference FOR DUMMIES." I guess that makes me a dummy 'cuz I've quickly become a huge fan of these books! They're a bargain on ABEBOOKS.com. I don't think I've spent more than $5 (including shipping) on any of these references, many of which are like new and sold for $50 or more when they were published about 15 years ago. So far, Access 2007 works just fine even though it's supposed to be obsolete. The only thing that doesn't work is the Help... because it's on-line and Microsoft intentionally shut that down.

Happy holiday, everyone. I hope you've all been kickin' back, eating well and doing just what you want. Me, I've been doing data entry - which is what I want. (Think of it as like working on a stamp collection.) I just put entered my 500th book, magazine or miscellaneous piece of media. It's time consuming but surprisingly rewarding.
