Solved Does anyone recognize this inventory program?

[Morgana]

I downloaded this database, but I cannot now remember from where. Does anyone recognize this splash screen and can point me in the right direction? There are some great pieces of this that I would love to incorporate into my database, specifically the Message Box with the Stock On Hand once a Product is chosen in the Order Form.
Thanks

If you have the db, what is stopping you from using pieces of it? Is it an executable?

 

[Morgana]

I was hoping there was some more explanation on the website. I'm trying to go into Design View and figure out how it is working, but right now I'm reading a foreign language. And, as the intro paragraph says, this one is not intended to be a working inventory database. I didn't catch that the first time.

Some developers put comments in the code that identify the creator. No such luck here?

Not that I've seen.

Sometimes developers put comments under properties in the explorer window. You may have to right-click in the project window or open the file tab to locate the properties. Been so long I forgot.

If you end up rolling your own you might find this link on Allen Browne's website useful:-

Allen Browne - Inventory Control: Quantity on Hand

How do calculate the quantity-on-hand for inventory applications, rather than rely on a stored value.

In case it helps other members, what is it and where did you find it?

I'm not sure what I'm allowed to link, but I found it on the Answers.microsoft.com site. Search under Inventory Ken Sheridan and it was under the question titled "Access Database for Inventory, Orders and Customers"

This one?

Access Database for Inventory, Orders and Customers

I'm creating a database for a School Uniform shop in which they can track their customers, inventory and orders. The customers would have links to orders they have placed in the past and each order

answers.microsoft.com

I think with 12 posts you may be able to post links now. It used to be 10, not sure it still is with the new forum software. It's an anti-spammer setting.

Yes, that one.

I don't see a sample database at that link.

The post by Ken included:

You'll find an example of how relationship types are built up across a database in this way in Relationships.zip in my public databases folder at:

Should have added that there's an inventory file there that is presumably the file above.

Here is the Inventory File from Ken's link.

The file is at the link along with a number of other interesting samples.
