I need to create an Equipment Library Database, does anybody have a sample
database I could look at for some ideas.
An equipment library is the same as a book library but instead of books we
loan medical equipment.
Many thanks in advance.

Steve, you have one of two choices:
-- Tell us you will stop advertising here, or...
-- get lost for another year or so...
http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html
(Until now 2446 pageloads, 1815 first-time visitors)
FYI: (this is also to inform those who do not understand...)
This is *not* about the sigline...although we do not 'love' it, we don't mind the current sigline.
But we will simply continue to hunt down *each and every* of your posts.
It is not relevant whether you advertised in *this* particular post or not...
Your pattern is: You post a few 'good' answers and then start to advertise again.
These groups are *not* your private hunting grounds!
You should know this by now.

Micro$oft has a lot of templates you can download. Maybe you can modify one
to suit your purposes:
------------------------------
"Lending library"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC102068831033.aspx?pid=CT101428241033
------------------------------
"Asset tracking database"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010184591033.aspx?pid=CT101426031033
------------------------------
"Assets"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC012253421033.aspx?pid=CT101428241033
------------------------------
and a "Book collection database"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010186431033.aspx?pid=CT102144001033

I found this really incredible resource looking at this problem! Go to this
site
http://www.softwareforeducation.com/
and scroll down near the bottom of the page. You'll see a link titled MS
Access-Library Database
Create a folder just to hold this download
Download the file and unzip it in the new folder
The file will install an
1) Access Lending Library database
2) A Word document that actually takes you thru,
with text and screen grabs, how to develop the database
3) A number of graphics files for demo purposes
The above is why I said to make a folder just to hold the files, as there are
a number of them!
I've never seen anything, in texts or online, that explains the process this
completely!
Good Luck!

Does anyone know where I can get this file? It does not seem to be on the
site anymore.
Thanks,

if you are building a new database; you should be using SQL Server
go and find a credible SQL Server developer / DBA
