Did anything replace Content Catalog by Bob Coleman?

After my main external hard-drive crashed last November or so, I have been getting all of my files back together from various external hard drives.  It has been a time-consuming job.

Also, I am a 3d-content-aholic, so I purchased many,many things I never downloaded.

Lastly, I have purchased many things multiple times.  A vendor moves to another store and I never downloaded my purchases from their initial store, so I purchase again.

Well, I decided to make spread sheets.  They are very good spread sheets (using Excel) however, I still wish I had something like Content Catalog by Bob Coleman.

My last download was Version 2, Beta 5.  The orginal software was Poser Download Tracker.

After Googling this software, I know it isn't around anymore.  The only issue I had was that I could not run a report, let alone export into Excel for any reason.

The file that contains the data is called "Downloads.db"

I don't have any software that opens a db file, so I changed it to a text file and opened in Excel.  There were over 350,000 lines of data, which I could read, but is was a mess.

And that was only what I purchased thru 2010, I think.

Has anyone developed a nice data base that is similair?

I just learned about Microsoft Access, however cannot get a firm answer on if it is included in Office 365.  My husband does have the annual Office 365 and he has shared with me since he can share with 5 computers, I believe.  I installed it, however every product continued to crash on my Windows 7.  I have not been brave enough to upgrade to Windows 10 before July 29 and probably won't.

Thank you so much for anyone who will help!!

    I think you already know the apps my sig links to, I'm also working on a general database however that can import data from the other apps so you have it all in one place. As for the data you have it should be easy to import these as well.

    Yes, I think your apps are brilliant.  A database would be awesome to combine all of my purchases.

    Also, a way to import a .txt file for future purchases would be awesome.

    Thank you so much!

    what I wonder (and might have to poke at) is, seeing as the CMS is a Postgre database (unless its some weird DAzified franken-base) , if some tricky SQL queries could be crafted to generate a report of all your installed content... Theory is good, but until one has a peek at the DB structure and what reall is in there, who knows...
