I use access to monitor my parts. I run a macro to see what is going to break next and then it searches the [3SI.ORG](http://3SI.ORG) databank for the part I need. It will then print a report and work release with esitmated hours along with a cashiers check for payment on the part. But… thats what I do. ---
