New version of freeware Community prep/Supplies inventory database now available

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Preparation Forum : One Thread

Hello all-

A while back, I wrote an Access database to help those who wanted to organize their neighborhoods in preparation for y2K. (Who is a mechanic, where are the babies/shut-ins, who is has oil heat, etc.)

Well, I've written an updated version for Access97 and Steve Davis has graciously agreed to make it available at his Coalition200 web site.

You can get it at:

http://www.coalition2000.org/#What's

The new version includes a couple of neat things I needed:

-Preps inventory system so you can list and print out what you need, what you have and which cupboard it's in (after 6 months, who remembers where they put the backup deodorant?...). It also includes an extensive pre-made inventory based on the one at Ted Derryberry's site. You can use either one.

-A collection of several of Robert Waldrop's excellent ready-to-print prep handouts. (Thanks, Robert!)

It's free, but you'll need a copy of Access97 or 2000 to use it. (I thought about making a run-time version, but it would have made a 5-6MB file; tough to download.) This one is 154KB zipped.

Hope it's useful. Hope it's unnecessary.

Regards-
