Database app

[The Pashmeister]

Hi there.

I know the Surface RT has Office built-in so I should be able to make my own database, but I'd like an app to store all details of my books, Cds, DVDs, etc.
Very geeky I know, but that's why we're on this forum isn't it? Ideally I'd like one that's available on Windows mobile too, but I think that's asking a bit much.
Has anybody any recommendations?

Thank you

Many people are using Excel for database work any more.

Moving to the apps section.

I would agree with Lee, Excel would be your best bet, store the file on your OneDrive

Not much experience with excel, but at least it would be accessible by my mobile as well as my tablet.

On the FREE side, Open Office Base sounds like what you're after.

Honestly I haven't had to deal with a database since dBase (dbf) files. Even MS Access isn't being used much any more. Those are typically some sort of prebuilt apps these days.

Lotus SmartSuite came with my W95 and had a terrific data base called Approach that I'm still using. Unfortunately, it's no longer available.

For RT? I'm not aware of a DB solution for RT. There was some talk in 2012 of something which I think vanished.

It says it wont work on my device... Supports Windows 10 only.
From the linked web page:
Supported operating systems
Windows 10
Windows 10 Mobile

So it wont work on Win RT devices as the OP requested or even X86 devices with Windows 8.1.
