Cartridge Inventory
Hi,
Is there a FREE/CHEAP software/db out there that can help me inventory my company's printer cartridges.
I need something that will remind me when it's time to buy some more.

Thanks for the response. But it's not quite what I'm looking for. Is there anything dedicated to printer supplies only?
It sounds like your looking for either a off the shelf solution or a template to be used with Access or something. Off the shelf is not going to be free or cheap. A template for inventory can certainly be found. MS has them for Excel and Access. With those you just open and go, but you have to live with whatyou get.
If you have any DB experience at all you could easily and quickly create what you need. All your tracking is the Printers, the type of cartridge they use, and an expected life of the cartridge and thats one table. Then you have a table that tracks when the cartridges were installed. Running a report off of that weekly will give you your schedule.
Good Luck

Unfortunately, I have not found an off the shelf solution for sale, and certainly not for cheap or free. However, I will research a little more to see if I can find anything for..

- Thanks for the link but I it's too much. I'm not planning to sell inks. i just need to monitor them and order when the supplies are low.
I'm leaning towards Bped suggestion of using access. however, I can't find a template suitable for my needs. And i'm not very good in access to create my own db. Do you guys now any link where i can download more access templates. I already tried google and office.m$.com. thanks
