My present spreadsheet method for inventorying my locomotives, rolling stock and accessories is showing its limitations, especially at 400+ lines. I don't feel like playing software developer to create my own database and then deal with clearing up any inevitable errors or problems. (Been there, done that, didn't enjoy it years ago.)
I reviewed the software manual for the Microsoft Access-based inventory application from the Lionel Operating Train Society (LOTS), but I'm not quite sure that's the best way to go.
What commercial software are you using for inventorying your trains, rolling stock, accessories, etc.? What do you see as the pros and cons of that software?
Thank you.
