I want to thank all of you who provided feedback on my database
development. It has been a labor of love but I'm glad to get this
monkey off my back! I posted v1.3 under the files section of this
newsgroup.

Included is a README.TXT file that will give you some basic
information on what it can do and how to use it. Feel free to use it;
I hope that some of you will try it out. -hexacat


> Some of the functionality is listed below:
> PFX count (of course!) with the "PFXHE" nomenclature
> PFX Log Book
> Maintenance Log Book (this will include any boxes you adopted)
> Hitchhiker Log Book
> Event Log Book
> Contact Database
> Statistic Page
> Export to MS Excel

>
> The PFX Log book can be sorted by ascending/descending order of any
> field you choose (date, placer, Box name, Location, etc.)
>
> The Maintenance module will keep track of all the maintenance done
> (or needs to be done) on each box planted and/or adopted. Currently
I
> am working on a sort by "county" feature that will print out a list
> of boxes planted in a specific area. I think it will help you
> organize your maintenance weekends by local.
>
> The Hitchhiker module will keep track of all your hitchhiker
travels
> for each box.
>
> The Events module simply lists all your events attended (nothing
> fancy here).
>
> The Contact module will allow you to build a list of fellow boxers
> detailing their trail name (sorry, no multiple personalities
> allowed!) mailing address, phone, email, and a list of their boxes.
>
> The statistic module will give you a breakdown on your success rate
> according to your attempts vs. number of finds. Also being
developed
> is a breakdown of the types of boxes (postal, virtual, and personal
> travelers collected).
