Updates to my website
Two new items:
I have updated the full feature MS Access database to generate car cards and waybills, the previous one had issues printing color stripes on the waybills:

That’s cool
I struggled to build a database driven web app to generate switch lists for a couple years. I never could get it running how I wanted it to, so I just makeup switch lists on a spreadsheet.
congrats on getting something up and running for your pike.

Thanks, I have been using MS Access databases to drive CC&WB systems for over 20 years. The published version is the 14th edition of the 7th database. Doesn't count all the one off's I've made or the that I have made 3 versions of the "car ticket" 1900's era database I use on my own layout.
On a side note, I was able to figure out an index for the glossary, and added a link to bring you back to the indiex, making it much easier to use.
I have started a couple times to sketch out a switchlist version of my database, but since that would be a LOT of work and I am 99% sure I would never use it on my layout, I never have actually pursued it.
