As part of my job, I organise the looseleaf updates. When each update arrives, I check it in and give each one a number, so that I can then track where it is. Currently, this is done via an excel spreadsheet, with a variety of sheets, so I can search alphabetically, and also by whether it has been filed or not. The problem is that this file has been going for a number of years and is quite large, and loading, saving and making any changes, takes an incredibly long time.

I’d really like to start a new system, but apart from starting a new spreadsheet, I’m out of ideas for how to do this. I’d like something straightforward, and as simple as my spreadsheet, but better. :) What would be really nice, would be a nice searchable webpage, with a database backend, but I certainly don’t have the time to build one!

What I’d like to know, is how do you keep track of your looseleafs? Or do you track them at all?
