Currently the manufacturing process is controlled by a home-grown "system" that has evolved over the years. This system is based on paper forms and spreadsheets. The current process gets the job done, but has many shortcomings. Recently, discussions have begun regarding the need for improvements. The budget for software purchases is VERY limited, so bringing in something like Sage's MAS-90 is currently out of the question. (We use Sage's Business Works for general accounting). One option being discussed is to build new functionality with Access 2007 to augment the current process. With all of this as background, here are my questions... Are there any good, yet inexpensive manufacturing systems available for small firms? Are there any "Access Templates" available for manufacturing firms? I believe that building a small manufacturing system more or less from scratch would be a very time consuming project. I would rather not re-invent the wheel if possible. Thanks in advance for your help and insights. Brad -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
