Posted by Wiljen — 2010-09-26 both problems I've seen listed are easily cured by reading the read me files for vista or windows 7

This Pgm, Is "Slicker then Snot on a Door Knob" this has to be the Handiest thing I have found to Date for loading, and I had entered a few we load from the Lyman #3 and #4 cast books,, This is so kewl,, I love this, do you guys have a bunch of stuff entered in to your data bases? How would I / We go about swaping data bases to show a cumulative work?
anyone ?

TIA
if you have not played with this you really should try it IMO

I can't make it work either.

You can merge the db files. I have my inventory entered and favorite loads. Along with serial numbers and pictures of my firearms. Modifications, trigger weight.

[khmer6]

Taylor, where are you getting stuck at?

[sparkz]

Hey would you care to shear your loads?
I am so new I have really nothing yet other then a Lyman load for x700 for 30-30 added
we have yet to fill in the other stuff

Let me know

read up and I had to make a folder and name it Test1 and then move the install to my new folder and it lit right up

the folder has to be on the C: drive named Test1

and as I say copyed the install to that folder

I don't really have much load data entered into it. I have different sources and spreadsheets that need to be consolidated this summer. I also found quick load cd..... So I gotta play with that as well. There is also an online database as well, look up hand loads. Remember a lot of these sources even if from manufacturer might be different because they have reduced the loads over the years. I have noticed this with alliant powder

I have been trying to find the targets, I click targets it shows that I have to download from the site. Cannot find that download, or the download for the firearms manuals.

If the program installed, the files should be on your hard drive somewhere. Try running a search for a file called M2.mdb This is one of the manual files and the other manual and target files should be located in the same directory.

I installed the program so long ago that I don't remember the installation process. I don't remember whether it asked where to be installed or not. All of my Reloaders Reference files ,including the target and manual databases are in C:\Program Files\Reloaders Reference\


Having a way to merge load data bases would be great. If someone can figure it out, I would be very interested. My MS Access database proficiency is years old, and like a foreign language, if you don't use it, you lose it. I can sort of follow what is going on in a database, but can't create them anymore.

[khmer6]

It wouldn't be too hard. I was able to break up the database by tables and forms. All we would need to do is merge the records of each table together. But I believe there is a native tool already in access that will just merge the whole db and sort the tables out and all.

[Taylor]

It downloads,but won't open.

[300winmag]

I uninstalled and re-installed and did the search and no targets or manuals. Everything else works fine.
Thanks, I will keep picking at it.

Taylor. Do you have MS access? Usually bundled with Microsoft Office suit. Are you on a pc or Mac?

[khmer6]

300winmag. I'll check my install when I get a chance and see exactly where it is pointing to. But I believe is he correct, there was another db file. I could send it to you if that is the case

No microsoft access I checked that box on download.

[khmer6]

300 mag. When I click on the manuals or targets it gives me a link to go download it. I can't seem to find anything on the link aside from the original data base? Anyone else might have a copy of the add on?

[khmer6]

Taylor
Did the install finish and create a shortcut to the mdb file?

That is what happens too when I try to open them.
I thought it was just me, But maybe not.
Thanks
