Need help creating a file tracking application

[bcogney]

hi,
I am looking for an excel template or application that will help my track 800 or 900 books. I will like to keep track of metadata information about the books (author, title, ISBN..etc), Status(pull down menu), dates(time stamps), dates file updated, and who updating the spreadsheet. Also, I would like to have some sort of check-in system that will make sure it will lock or at least alerts the user that some other user is updating the files at the same time.

thanks.

Well, obviously you will want to save this data in a database right!? Please don't consider excel! How good is your PHP programming if any!?

If your PHP programming experience is any good use:
http://www.phpdevshell.org (opensource) as a framework.

If you have little php/mysql experience use:
http://www.bigprof.com/appgini/index.php (commercial)

If you have no experience PM me 😉 and we can discuss a development fee!

Hope this will help you on the right track.

Regards,
Jason

Jason,

Thanks so much for your help. I am not a good PHP programmer, so the 2nd or 3rd are my options.
I will download the trial version for appGini, but the same time kinda of curious about option 3.
