I have the same inventory tracking problems, too. I don't have a complete invetory of anything but my 11/34a stuff. In the accounting profession, what we need is an "inventory locator system." I have the beginnings of this in an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet indicates the DEC "M" number, description, and the location: the main chassis, expansion chassis, or in "stores." I, too, want to go the barcode inventory route. Thinking out loud, if someone could get their hands on a shareware point-of-sale inventory package for a PC, that might do the trick. I see ads in PC Magazine all the time for POS systems and software, but I don't want to spend several hundred $$$$ for it. Rich Cini/WUGNET &lt;nospam_rcini(a)msn.com&gt; - ClubWin!
