Breyer CD Database Screens
 |
Main Screen
 | Search animal categories including equine (in all
sizes), wildlife or domestic. |
|
|
Found Screen
| Up to four images per model! That's more than 6,000
images! View production dates, Artist, series and special
run supplier information! And more! |
|
|
Search and Filter Screen
| Here's where the easy filtering happens, by mold name
or number, model name, date introduced or discontinued. Search by mold or model number, Artist, series, special run supplier and
search the non-equines by animal type! |
|
| Advanced Search Screen
|
For those who want more control over their search
and filter, this search screen allows you to choose where to look and
what to look for! There's an option to search in two fields at once, to
further narrow down the results! |
|
|
Mold Finder, Screen 1
| If you need a little help, this screen gives search
options for the common attributes that make a model unique such as
molded on tack or using a base for support. |
|
|
Mold Finder, Screen 2
|
If you really need help, this begins to dig deeper into
the differences between the molds beginning with how many feet support
the mold (standing, walking, trotting...) |
|
|
Mold Finder, Screen 3
|
Filter by number of feet and then select one of the size
categories to further filter the search. But if you don't know the size
category... |
|
|
Mold Finder, Screen 4
|
The final option is to search by how the mane lays on
the mold: to the left, to the right, evenly on both sides or flying back
away from the mold. |
|
|
Found Screen
| Results of a search. |
|
My WishList Feature
|
There's really only one screen to this feature. Add the
models to MyWishlist by clicking the Add button on the Found screen. To view
the Wishlist, click on the View Wishlist button. |
MyCollection Database Screens
| The Main screen, General tab.
| One screen with three tabs. The general tab has the most used
information. |
|
| The Main Screen, Custom tab.
| Have some customized models in your collection? No problem. Add the
information on the Custom tab. |
|
| The Main Screen, Sold tab
| Do you like to keep track of where that model went, just in case you
ever want to buy it back? You can keep the record in the database and
retrieve the information later on! |
|
| The Contacts Entry and Maintenance page.
| All your contacts, sold to, customized by and purchased from all in
one place. |
|
| The Search screen.
| Once you have your data entered, use this screen for a quick search. |
|
| The Advanced Search screen.
| Looking for something specific and the standard search screen just
won't do? |
|
| Printing reports.
| Need to print out a sales list? How about a report that compares what
you paid to Perfect and Average values? Just want a list of model
information? How about an image with that information? |
|
| Importing from the Breyer Creatures CD, three steps.
| If you need to add duplicates, here's the utility that lets you.
And not just one at a time. Select a bunch at once and import all at
once! |
|
| Database Maintenance Screens
| Don't want to manually change all of the data from your previous
MyCollection database? Did you purchase and manually add models produced
after your version of the Breyer CD and want the data updated? Did you
mess up and want to start all over again? Here's the utilities that help
you manage your My Collection database. |

About the MyCollection Database:
The first time you run the program, Setup adds an Access database
(bmine04.mdb or smine04.mdb). Since this is where your data is stored, it
is a good idea to include this file in your backup schedule. If you feel tempted
to use your Access program to access the database, do so on
a copy and not the original as changes to the format and data may make it
impossible to use with the MyCollection program. Corrupted databases CANNOT be
repaired by KeriOkie Entertainment.
About adding your own images:
If you have the Breyer CD in your CD-ROM drive, any model you imported from
the Breyer CD database will display the images from the CD.
For any of the models, to can add up to four of your digital images per model. Just click "Add
Pictures" and locate the file on your hard drive. To remove any reference
to your images and revert back to the first setup, click the Reset Pictures
button. This only effects the displayed record, not the entire set. If the
information was imported from the Breyer CD, the database will revert back to
the imported images. If you added the model manually, all of the image location
data will be erased.
Due to the different sizes of the models, the Breyer Creatures CD uses a
1.5" x 1.5 " x 200 dpi image size. If you images are different
(not completely square), the program will stretch it to fit the window. (Add a
black border to any image of a different size to make it fit properly.) Images
that are too large or too small will "pixilate", that is, appear
blocky and distorted. Very large images will take longer to load as you click
through the records. Experiment with the image size that best suites your needs.
If you really want to know how this came about, you can read
a little history about KeriOkie...
