[ANSS-netops] Database

[Nathan L Edwards]

Hey all,

We are looking to implement something similar.  Someone I talked with said their lab was just using a shared email account (say, stationvisit at seismo.unr.edu) just for station visits which all techs have the password for.  Visit records are sent to the account from the tech's account, and records are reviewed from the stationvisit account.  No database to construct, highly portable, and it's easily searchable by date, tech (from line) and station (subject line), and you can easily send records to your own email account.  As an added bonus, this can easily be done from a Blackberry in the field (where there's coverage anyway).  We haven't yet decided if this is what we will be doing, but I thought it might be worth sharing.

Hello,

I wanted to ask if anyone is using a database to keep track not only of 
their equipment, but their service visits. I have been working on one in 
Microsoft Access, but if somebody else has already done this please let 
me know.

Thanks,
