Building a database for all coins of a specific type: IT help requested
Alwin replied to Roerbakmix's topic in General
I have several DB running under Access, one with 27000 records. It's true that coding with Access was at first a nightmare (I started with Access 7, a long time ago!), but now it's much better... There's no problem with the photos once we understand that we must not integrate them into DB, but manage them with links. -

An Upcoming City Break to Rome - What to do in such a short amount of time?
Alwin replied to Hughie Dwyer's topic in General
Having visited Rome a number of times, I think I can say: 1- The program you want to achieve requires 3 weeks rather than 3 days! (it is better to see less, but to see better...) 2- At the top of my own list, and that I don't see mentioned: - the magnificent collection of coins in the Palasso Massimo, its lion and wolf heads from the remains of Caligula's ships. - Trastevere and the mosaics of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere. - the Capitol and its museum -

Idem with La Poste (USA --> France). Obtaining reimbursement for undue expenses is so difficult, they hope we'll give up. Whatever the carrier, it's the same process.
