    Thanks indeed, but I'm getting a new error message now:

    mPDF error: IMAGE Error (http://www.wafflecollectibles.com/db.../66525.1.jpg): Could not find image file

    Shall we take this offline? How?

    By the way, I think you'll attract more people to entering info in to the database if they know they can get their data out if need be. And since I suspect DIMA will be the best database for a long long time, nobody will want to leave!

    Never meant to imply you would be likely to go out of business or your backups aren't sufficient. While I can search the pdf, that isn't useful for finding what 777s from cathay pacific I have in 1:400 if I have a lot of either 777s or cathay pacific.

    As far as fields go I would want:

    Aircraft
    Airline
    Manufacturer
    Manufacturer part #
    acquired date

    so what would you envision in a export? what fields?

    I agree an export of some sort would be a good idea. PDF is nice, but not a data export. Not only if the site goes out of business, but also for offline access to a collection, and for custom analyses. Leave out descriptions and photos if you're afraid of a bulk download. Which, as has been pointed out by @foundation, can already be done.

    1. there is no reason for us to close soon, and it wouldn't be a "new feature development"
    2. we have backups in 4 distinct locations for this site.
    3. you can search your own data
    4. the print function already gives you 95% of what you are looking for.

    I've been in companies shutting down and the last thing on anybody's mind is doing new feature Development for free to allow export of data. Or your database server could die or be in a hurricane or be hacked and the backups fail. Also that doesn't address the desire to be able to search my own data. The major reason I buy from waffle is the automatic entry in the database. If I have to create my own spreadsheet to search my stuff and or feel like my data is safe, the value of the db and thus ordering from waffle is significantly less.

    Sorry to Spam the printing thread everybody.
