We are likewise trying to develop a Microsoft Access database to keep
track of equipment inventories and site equipment and
documentation. It has been a long road to try to get a functioning
database, and we aren't there yet. It has helped that we finally
have someone in-house take on the building of it that knows a lot more
about databases than me and the other technicians. Folks in SoCal
are also trying to wrap their heads around a database and have asked
about what we are doing, but we haven't updated them in too long.
<br><br>
Unfortunety for you, the first stage of the database will NOT include
site visit tracking. That is a long-term goal. Our priority
at this time is to finally document what we actually have in the field
(and on the shelf). It will also be a depository for site photos,
maps, diagrams, and whatever documentation we use to describe a
site. I certainly don't mind sharing notes with you and vice
versa. <br><br>

<font size=2>We are using INV

equipment and responses (which also generates SEED volumes) at our

<font size=2>For keeping track of station maintenance/service we are
using Request Tracker

both for ANSS-BB and GSN networks. We have been using officially as

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