[TriLUG] teenie weenie database/web project

[Joseph Tate]

I did a quick search on "inventory tracker" at source forge and came up 
with the following:

http://myparts.sourceforge.net/

It's an early beta, but may it be easier to modify this project to meet 
your needs.  If not, I would suggest that using PHP/mySQL is as easy to 
make distributed database apps as using Access (and fewer headaches too 
with Access's known problems sharing data: deadlocks and crashes, etc.  
Just ask turnpike420).  Then again, you may come up with a better search 
term and might have better results.  I don't have time to do it myself, 
but I'll be happy to help if you get stuck.
