What's a good, simple to use spreadsheet for inventory of guns and other collectibles?
Please don't keep it a secret. I'm sure you're not the only person who might be looking for a simple inventory. I was -- I finally gave up and made a database in Access, but it's not perfect. I'll still look at alternatives.Bill DeShivs said:I think I found one. It's Excel based, but it works with Open Office.
Thanks.
A simple freeware program like 7-Zip can use AES-256 encryption to secure a spreadsheet - or any document really - or even a monolithic database.Consider this, is it REALLY a good idea to put a list of your guns on a computer that might possibly be hacked? or in a database accessibly by "the net"?

I freely admit to not understanding the tech issues, but am I wrong in thinking that whatever your data is, if its connected to anything then someone else could, possibly, get it?
shouldn't some information stay "off the grid"??
\Libre Office is a fork of Open Office. If Libre Office allows you to password protect files, I'm sure Open Office does, as well.stinkeypete said:Open Office for me.
