I'm still using a Access database to track my DVD list and have been following the DVD Profiler discussions from time to time. Though my database works, data entry is a pain (one to two minutes per disc).
That said, from playing with DVD Profiler and reading other's comments, I can't determine whether it supports several features I really need. Can those of you who use it comment on its ability to do the following:
1. Sort a report by Category and then by alpha within each category?
2. Generate a report that omits television shows and music video collections. (I like having a movie-only list, especially as listing all the Twilight Zone and ST:TOS discs would take up several pages.)
3. Generate a report of movies owned, sorted by Director.
4. Generate a report of only those movies added to my database within a specified date range. (This is something my friends keep asking for.)
5. Ability to set and lock which category a movie is listed in. (In those cases where I disagree with the person who entered the movie into the online database.)
6. Ability to break out movie box sets to individual films. (I'd rather have separate listings for each movie in the boxed set.)
Thanks!
