Hey all, inspired by a suggestion from Stephan, I created a spreadsheet of counts of Paph and Phrag species AOS quality awards. It's not quite up to date, but hopefully I can soon get some more recent info. Please lemme know of any problems or suggestions:

Database project? I'm intrigued...
I have more info if it would help, but it's only complete up to early 94 as well

Hi Stephen -
Background - I initially constructed my "database" in Excel - it is such a HUGE file now it takes ages to load, save, etc.
So I'm moving it to a "custom" designed database in Filemaker Pro.
So far I like it, but I used a template, and only have 9 records so far. I am thinking that I may need to start from scratch and NOT use the modified template - much harder at the start, but it may turn out to be better in the long run. At any rate, I can add photos, Quicktime files, and pdf's - so I'm hoping to put all the Wildcatt info and award info in for species and hybrids. That way, if I want to have something judged, I have the information about it at my fingertips.
Thanks Stephen and Lien for assisting with this "want" of mine!!
Most peachy of you!
I'm really anal - so the more info on the species/hybrid I can get, I wish to include in my database!
Thanks again!!
p.s. - also, if I design from scratch, I *think* I can share w/ others, but I'm really new to this software. Planning on going out of town over Labor Day and this is my big "Sittin' on the beach" project" If people have an interest in the "finished" product (template) let me know! At this point I'm not sure what I'll have to offer, but I'd be happy to share if I possibly can and anyone is interested!

More data available in these two:

You can also find a bit more data at:

It's all preliminary, but growing slowly. I would be interested to see your database when you've completed it, sounds very much like my goals atm.

Thanks!
I'll check those out when I have some free time tomorrow.
I think there's a way to share my dbase, but not sure how yet - will work on that! (Though it is a loooong way from being done!!)

This goes way deeper than I was envisioning Stephen - It's great work - I'll be giving it a closer look later this evening.
Thanks
Cheers
