Images of my coin program I'm working on

Moonbiter

Here are some images of the coin program I'm working on. Right now I'm working on the coin portion, but there will be an area for sets and bullion also. I also haven't started on the report feature also, but I need to get more of this done before I work on that. Once I get this first section done, the other will be easier because most the code and structure will be done, just need to rename some things and write a bit of code.

One of the best features of my program is the ability of the end user to modify the tables. They can add or delete items or change the wording. This gives the end user a very customizable feel to the program.

For the collector that loves to collect varieties and errors, you can put them in any way you want, and after associating the variety/error with what type of coin it is, the program will filter the ones out that go with with that type of coin. This is seen in the last images with the Morgan VAMS.

Here is the area where you can customize the tables. If you look at the "coin info" image you can see where the combo boxes on that page pull their data.


Here are images of the "Coin" page where you can keep track of as much information as you want or as little. For anyone who sells, this program will keep a detailed total of the total money put into a coin if you use all the areas. When you sell the coin it will take all that information and calculate a profit or loss and display it to you in either black or red. Grading fees and shipping fees are calculated in this total if you provide values. If you sell a coin and check the box, the blue boxes will all turn Red so you can easily see that the coin is no longer in your possession. If you mark the coin as Special it will turn those boxes Black so you know that coin is special and you would not sell it. In the Image area, if you click on the thumbnail, the full size image will be displayed.









Here are the images showing how the program only gives you the choices relevant to the choice of the Type you are working with. If you choice "Gold Eagles", in the Series combo box, only Gold Eagle type coins will be listed, even though the main table has every series listed in it. If you have any Variety/Error associated with that series, in the Variety/Error combo box, those choices will only be listed for that series.

I'm hoping to be done by the end of the year, and yes it will be for sale.

Can you do it for Mac OSX? And make it "Bubbly"?

Probably not. I don't have access to a Mac, and from what I remember when I looked into it before, is that it's darn near impossible to port it over. I would have to start from scratch to get a Mac version if I remember. I'll look into it again but I'm pretty sure that there won't be a Mac version.

You've come a long way with the program since last we chatted about it (I was 2 years younger then )

Moonbiter

yeah, my life hit a MAJOR downward swing around that time that I never realized I was in till March of this year. Program is pretty similar but I've been slowly working on it again.

Bochiman

Well, looks like it is back on an upward trend, I hope...more power to ya

TTT for the day crew.

Can you make it so it shares its files with an iPod application? I'd like to be able to sync the "database" to an iPod so I can have my collection with me at a coin show (or a visit to my local B&M) in my iPod. iPods rock for carrying coin images at coin shows.

Moonbiter

Nope, can't do it. Because the iPhone is a Mac creation, it's not compatible with an Access DB. However I'm thinking about doing a "light" app for the iPhone since I have one and find it extremely useful on the go.

intence

very cool. looks like a nice database

Moonbiter

thanks. I'm hoping it will become popular. I think about the only things mine won't do that some other do, is provide stock photos for the coins and offer updates to prices. Both of those features are something I don't think are major selling points and I hope I'm correct. Flexibility in being able to tailor as much of the program as possible, is what I think is going to let this take off, if it does. Won't know until it's done and I put it out for the consumers, and you never know unless you try. At the very least, I will have one heck of a coin inventory program for myself. hehe

Oh yeah I remember this...I was wondering what happened to it! Glad to see it is still coming along...looks good!
