Blair,

You might want to do a google search for "microsoft" & "inventory control".
You might find some interesting stuff out there.

One other question, would you want to use bar code scanners and or print UPC
bar code?

Just so many question. Please don't let me discourage you. Just want you to
know this is a big project for your first project. But the inventory control
template should be a big help.

Dennis.
