Take credit for my work! Take tab-delim data and make a utility!

The Encounter Spreadsheet in the electronic aids section is something I did up a while back.

I found that when I was gaming, I wanted to determine appropriate encounters for my party, quickly and easily. So I entered in everything I could find into a spreadsheet.

By using autofilter to select the CR range (custom, <=X), the climate (hot cold etc), the terraine the party was in (mountains, swamp etc) and even type (aberration, humanoid, etc) I could sift through all the monsters I had access to and find ones useful for what I was doing at the moment. Even the dragons were broken out by age!

-------------

UNFORTUNATELY - it is a huge spreadsheet and hard to update. The beauty of a spreadsheet, though, is that it can easily export its data into a tab-delimited text that any database, properly set up, can import.

My question: Is anyone here willing to take all my hard work and claim it as their own, just by putting some sort of front end on it like RPM or DMBuddy or something? Puh puh puh pleeze?

I'm not sure if the data I used was from your spreadsheet or not but I do have an Access 2000 database that I took from an excel spreadsheet. It is pretty generic but it is servicable. If you have Access 2000 and want it let me know.
