Re: Database and Programming Help

From my past experiences, access databases suck. Last year my team used one and it was constantly failing and breaking on us and we only had one person who knew how it worked and could fix it. My personal reccomendation for you would be to use the fail-safe pencil-and-paper system. Even though this is my first year as scouting coordinator for my team, i did get to run scouting for my team at an off-season competition where i used pencil-and-paper which was able to help guide my team to the finals, even though we lost there it was the best we had ever done in the history of my team. If you would like to go the pencil-and-paper route i would gladly share the sheets and system (gotten lots of positive review from my team) that i have devloped for my team.
