Kat, I'm working on getting my home library cataloged, and I get along fine by building a table in Microsoft Word. Do you have MSWord at home? If so, I could email you a sample. Actually, I can move my list back and forth between different software easily. How much data do you want to keep about each book anyway? I find all I need is author, title, and Library of Congress catalog number. I'm thinking of adding a code to indicate hardcover/trade-paperback/mass-market-paperback, because I keep those in different places because of their sizes.

What is it exactly that you find difficult about MSWorks? The only difficulty I know of is that the word-processor portion of MSWorks doesn't allow you to sort. But the database portion does. If you like, I could do some experimenting and work out a method that should work well for you, and I could email you any templates you need, or sample files.

Tell me exactly what kind of software you have, including version numbers, and I'll see what I can do.
