Hi All,

Last week sometime someone posted to ShadowRN with a url for the card
list in access db format. I foolishly thought that I would not get into
TCG and deleted the message... this weekend I succumed and now find
myself in need of this URL!

Cheers for any help

I'd suggested Andrew/Shawn post the message to SRCard as well, but
never saw it on this list. Here's a copy of the message I happened to
hang on to.

I took the spoiler list from paolo and entered it into an Access
database. I will be creating a windows 32-bit program using the
database. I had to separate the skills into separate fields,
below is
an example of the runner "Kraker Jack".

Field Value
------------ ----------------
Name Kracker Jack
Profession Decker
Race Human
Cost 3
Recon 1
Attack 3
Body 2
Decking 2
Firearms 1
Text The first pistol given to Krakerjack is free.

All other fields such as piloting, armor, stamina, quote, and
social
are left blank.

For this program I will be trying to implement the following
abilities.

1. Search one field for <,=,>, or any part of a value.
2. Keep track of decks with a "deck name" table and "cards in
deck"
table.
3. Keep track of the cards you own.
4. And of course browsing all the cards in the database.

I just began construction of the program yesterday and already
have
the runner browse screen half way done. If you would like to see
some
other functionality that I did not mention please let me know.

OOPS, almost forgot you can download what I have of just of the
database at the below address, including a bunch of queries I set
up.

I had to set this list to digest so I maybe a day or two late to
anything you post on it. I am trying to get a seperate account
for
just this list so I can keep in the discussions. If you would
like a
response from me faster than two days please e-mail directly to my
Personal account.
