Tracking my 90 % Holdings

I have a notebook where I record my purchases. As the amount and number of purchases increase I would like to automate this task. I realize that I could use Excel to write my own program, but is there any software ( freeware
) that I could use?

Geeezus, I wish I had your "problems"! When I can no longer track, with pen and paper, my precious metal purchases, that would mean im either senile or ridiculously wealthy.
I knew it would happen.
It's not that I have a ton, it's just a question of expediency. When I make a purchase, I make a short entry. Takes all of 30 seconds.
Set up a sum at the bottom of the "net weight" field, drop in spot price for whatever metal, use a simple * equation for total net weight and spot price, and you know what you're "worth" at any time.
Here are my headers:
Type Source Details Paid Date Net Weight Spot price

The "details" column is for a quick description, including serial numbers and slab numbers (I have a similar file for numismatic material).
It's a snap to email a copy to myself at an off-site server (hotmail, yahoo, whatever) periodically when I buy stuff and update the file. That way if some ever went missing for any reason, I've got something to show the good guys, insurance agents, etc.

If anyone cares to use it, its a great program...Link to program
