I know that Diane Silver keeps all of her dances in Filemaker Pro,
and has them amazingly well organized. You can get in touch with her
through her website (
Ok, I can't put this off any longer. I have too
many cards, dances in the
computer, dances on scrapes of paper. I need a database! I would like to
be able to enter the dance into it and some other information like author,
or period or difficulty and then be able to ask it to show me all the dances
that have ladies chain to hey transitions, or have a California twirl, God
willing, or half promenade to half right-and-left through's, or that I once
thought might be good for one night stands with mixed crowds by the
seashore. It could also link back to showing me the entire dance. I know
that this is very basic database stuff, but I'm not too database literate.
I have Access and tried to do this there. I'm sure it can be done. Does
anyone have an off the shelf suggestion, or an easy answer. Easy answers do
exist for some things.
Thanks,

P.S. I have a pc running Windows XP and megagigas of ram and storage.
