Major Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Trilobase is a program that allows you to create a virtual database of your fossils, including adding images and localities; It has a very easy user interface, and therefore can be used by almost anyone. Trilobase is a great program, but I recently tried downloading it on my Vista 64-Bit and I guess it only works with 32-Bits.. Here's the link anyway for those of you that can use it Someone on the forum posted like this a while back, which is how I learned of it, but I'm re-posting it because it's almost a necessity for serious fossil-hunters. ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah since I can't use Trilobase I'll be using OpenOffice.org Calc instead- the thing with Trilobase is that it's already set up for fossils, and erases a lot of confusion. Once I'm done with a set-up for Calc, I may upload it for others to use, and make it compatible with Access. ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean my set-up, sit'cher butt down and wait- I'm slow ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have excel and access but have no idea how to use them Run into enough organization issues, and open up the program knowing it can help, and suddenly it'll make sense.. well, after a bit of practice, of course ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I meant your setup. I have Open Office already. I learn something new every day. I never realized Open Office has it's own Database creator! So I'll look into that and might make that the more complex yet better set-up, but I'll first make a simple one with Calc. EDIT: @lawooten: No problem! ~Major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
