I've been working recently on something like that for myself. It is web based and uses MySQL as the backend. A link to a screenshot is below.

I'm planning on adding some kind of image library, links to spec sheets, project manifests, costs, etc. If somebody is interested, I can put the code up somewhere. http://standingwave.org/inventory.jpg -Pete On Aug 8, 2008, at 3:32 PM, M.
