(type, quantity, ...) you have? Do you use Access (or some other kind of database) or a specially made program 
or ....?

I wouldn't use Access for anything at all!  :-)  

I find a spreadsheet is adequate (and easier).  I have one sheet with a row for each type of chip that I have, 
and the major specs across from them.  Another sheet, linked to the first, has the count of stock of each, 
with a column for each location (I keep chips in several places!).

It's dead easy to update stock as I receive or use chips, and the specs page makes it a handy at-a-glance way 
to choose something for a particular job.

Cheers,
