If you don't mind me sticking my ore in. I find Access a very versitile databas for which to store your records. It comes with Microsoft office so its widely used, whats more Pulling querry's off is a sinch. One data base to pull off lists for several countries makes for something to do on those windyrainy days when birding is a washout
Entering the latin names for species in the appropriate fields /date /Country of observation / etc. maybe time consuming on your first run but it helps eliminate duplicate records.
I lost 3 birds off my lists through exposing duplication this way. but I at least know what my 1,000 species was "Lazuli bunting" Arizona 23/4/00
So why buy recording software
