geminigirlI got annoyed at the state of our cabinets at work today-not long ago I ordered three hundred brochures from the state...they're now nearly all gone and I wanted some to take along tonight.
I told the department head that I'd even be willing to take responsibility for tracking what we're using because it's so annoying to go to get things and find them not there.
So...here's what I want to do...
build a database in Access (cause that's all I've got) that can be accessible to everyone who needs it, which will track quantities of brochures and send an e-mail out to someone when a particular brochure needs to be reordered. The reorder value can be either universal or individual to the particular brochure-we go through some more quickly than others.
Anyone ever done this before? Does it work? Could you help me do it?
