[Healeys] parts database

[Al Fuller]

Hi, Greg:

I think what I was really asking is whether anyone on the list has __
already __ set up a database.  Populating the parts numbers is likely the
single largest part of it..., and that's what I'd like to avoid re-creating
if it is already out there.

On a separate note, if I were to set up a database from scratch I'd likely
use MS Access, as that is what I'm used to from work and clients.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Forgot to mention, with File Maker you can import pictures of the parts
right into to the databases along with the part numbers and descriptions.
This way you can see them or have a diagram of how they go back together.

Add in freezer bags you can write on and you've got yourself quite the
restoration management system.
