For several years I've used Access for my piano records at SMU and I have the data file on a server on campus that is accessible to anyone there. It can also be seen outside if one uses a campus VPN. I haven't seen the value in posting it for general consumption. They are our pianos and our data so I see no need to share that with outsiders. What are you trying to accomplish by having it available to everyone? dave David M.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone is using / has developed a web-based record keeping system for all of the pianos maintained at your University / College. We, at Kalamazoo College, are in the nascent stages of trying to develop a system that multiple users can access / make notes on / read piano updates while the main purpose is to keep our notes on every piano (tuning, repairs, etc.) and continually update these files. Any suggestions or sharing of the system you use at your school would be most helpful. I realize the web-based idea may not be viable, but curious to know who is using what with how much success prior to inventing the wheel. . .over & over again. . .thank you! take care---D Marie D Marie Jones Piano Technician, RPT, MFA Kalamazoo College 269-383-0620 269-806-4067 (cell) ________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.
