I need to track hazardous material flow through receiving, inspection, store, and the shop areas. Each area has their own database that doesn't talk to one another. I would appreciate any tips, hints, suggested software, etc. that you could offer. I am thinking about developing a PC frontend that can query each of these databases as needed. Please reply through the e-mail and I will summarize that answers if there is enough interest. -- ***************************************************************** Chris Kacoroski ski2@blake.acs.washington.edu University of Washington Seattle, WA
