inventory lookup

[AJ]

I am looking to create a database that has locations of inventory items. I
then want to create a query that uses a pop up box to either enter the
description or serial number, for which the location is retrieved. Can
someone help with this?

Sounds like you may want a parameter query.

PARAMETERS [Enter serial number:] TEXT;
SELECT location_id FROM YourTable
WHERE serial_number = [Enter serial number:];

If that answer is inadequate, please tell us about your tables and
fields. Table names, names of relevant fields, data types of those
fields, relationships defined between tables ...

If you want a single query which allows the user to search by either
description *or* serial number, it will be more complicated.

Hello AJ,

If you want this database to be working for you immediately, I would like
to offer to build the database for you. I provide help with Access, Excel
and Word applications for a nominal fee. My fee to help you would be very
modest. If you want a working database quickly, contact me.

Stevie, repeat after me; you are NOT a resource, you do not know Excel, Word
or Access to be considered a resource. Your "help" is not wanted!



These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas
holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)

Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...
