Thank both you and Naz for the responses. It sounds like Access is best for
the task, but I was hoping for a canned template or off the shelf SW that
would accomodate my needs. I haven't found any as yet. I don't even know
where to look on the web.
Thanks again.

The form is the least problem. Consider first what this is for, that decides
which data structure you need. You can use just anything if you just want a
"if I write it down then I can read it later" list.

If you want to be able to sort and search your list then a spreadsheet or a
database will do the job.

Big consideration is if/when you deal with relations. Relations are about,
say, one director - multiple movies, one movie - multiple actors. This is
what relational databases do, and if you need a "list all my Arnie movies"
thing then settle for nothing less than a relational database.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

What software should I use to design a form for listing my DVD collection?
Are there templates available somewhere?
